M368 rims

jb13119 · 04-23-2013, 09:33 AM

I just put the following rim set on my 2011 535xi and as soon as the car was out back on the ground, there is a clicking noise coming from the front wheel wells when I turn the wheel in either direction. Has anyone else experienced this?

Avant Garde M368
Front 20"x8.5" ET20
Back 20"x10" ET35

Everything else on the vehicle is stock. Any ideas?

No idea what the noise migh be but maybe you can have someone drive the car while you walk/crawl next to it on the outside and see if anything looks awkward.

Try to put stocks back on and see if sound is still there.

Off topic, but do you have pixx? Always wanted to see 20 offset on the fronts.

I have the exact same set up.. M368 in 20 inch.. I have no clicking noises.

Maybe the TPMS sensor is lose inside?

I just put some 345m wheels on my F10 and noticed a clicking noise only at low speeds. I took it into BMW and they found a piece of debris rolling around inside the tyre, at low speeds it was tapping on the alloy inside. BMW said it must have somehow got in there when the tyres were being put on the rim.

Thanks for the replies. A couple of additional comments here:
- The noise is present when turning the wheel even if the car isn't moving
- The noise is NOT present when the vehicle is lifted and the wheel is turned
- The noise is exactly the same on both the left and right sides
- With the stock rims installed, the clicking noise goes away

This eliminates the possibility of anything loose inside the tire (e.g. debris, TPMS). Any other ideas???

I wonder if the wheel isn't properly sitting on the hub.

I have the same problem with my 2014 F10 . I have not changed the rims . Took it to the dealer and they could not fix the problem even after taking the entire left suspension down to grease and tightening the parts . Funny thing though the loaner they gave me was a 2014 also and it too had the same clicking noise
