Default need some help, new wheels and tires installed

now i am getting a sqweaking noise from the rear end, it appears to be coming from the brakes as it gets louder when i put the brakes on(but not sure ). all I did at installation was paint the calipers (did not take them off, painted with a brush) and installed the new wheels. I had stock 17" wheels and I installed 18x9 GT4's all around. I did use my existing lug nuts but that did not seam to be a problem. please help as I have spent alot on these and of course now that they are mounted i cant send them back (or so i would assume). Anyway every thing seams to fit fine. the wheels are not touching the brakes or the calipers.

Did you swap the TPMS sensors? I had a clicking from one of my wheels and had to have the band retightened. Take it to a reputable tire shop and have them look at it.

no, I installed them less the TPMS sensors, and actually have not had any sensor errors, I am taking it down to my Firestone dealer this weekend. thanks
