Default Installed new wheels. now clicking sound coming from back. Help Please.

I installed some konig rewinds today 15X7 w/ 205/50 falken ziex 512. When i make right turns there is a clicking sound coming from the Right Rear. I had some 15X7 slips w/ 205/50 azenis before and didn't have that problem. my suspension is H&R Race springs w/ KYB AGX. Any clue to what could be the problem? Thanks.

Car is 2000 Civic Hatch.

Well lol this may sound crazy lol but i had a problem kinda like this today on my way to work. I drove over some broken pavement, and after that i kept hearing a kliking sound that would get louder the faster i went and it was really annoying. So i pulled into work and looked at my tire... and i had a rock stuck in between the tread. I just pulled it out and threw it back on the ground. So look for rocks stuck in your tread. Only thing i can think of right now ..

when it turns it might be your LCA, strut, or springs. cuz thats what happen to mean and i changed those and no more sound. if your new wheels have thinner spokes it may be why you hear it now cuz the sound comes out better. plus after you change wheels you might have noticed it but it was there all along. dont know if i make sense
