I put on new rims and tires yesterday and now when i drive it sounds like a metal rubbing sound on the front right. could it be my brakes?

 

maybe the tires/rims are too wide and rubbing on your springs

 

nah, its only one tire and its the same size as my last. hmm........

 

Which wheel is rubbing?

 

the front right. like itll stop sometimes but then start again. gets faster when speed increases and really slow at like 5mph

 

pull off that rim and see if there is any wear on any of the components. if it increases with speed, it can only be something rotating.

 

well i talked ot the guy who helped me and he said the original rim and tire fell off half way and was hanging there when we jacked up the car (he loosed the lugs while the car was on the ground so it didnt rotate) ill pull it off oon and see what the deal is. could that have made something worng?

 

wow this sound is getting worse everytime i go somewhere. really loud and screechy now. i have no clue what to look for when i take off the rim. any help?

 

the rim and tire (the wheel) fell off half way?

he loosed the lugs while the car was on the ground so it didnt rotate?

not quite sure what you did or how you did it. sounds like there's damage to the wheel. with your description, its hard to tell what was done. sorry...

I wouldnt drive that car until you have that wheel examined. you may cause more damage if you ride on it further.

 

Sometimes small rocks and cinders can get behind a brake dust gaurd. That happenend to me and i just took the wheel off and blew out the brake and sure enough a little pebble fell out. Sorry if that doesn't help.
