I just got new wheels/rims a few weeks ago, they're 18x9 on all sides and tires are "255/45 ZR18"... they seem to squeak once in a while when making dramatic left/right turns, but not all the time. I have checked the clearance and it has space on all sides of the tire when I get under there and look with the wheel turned right/left... could this squeak just be because they're new? Any input is appreciated.. thanks..

 

are you hearing a mechanical squeak or the tires squeaking?

 

It sounds like the tires squeaking, but it doesn't do it all the time. It's only happened 3 times, twice at my apartment backing in and once at the car wash, could they be rubbing? IDK what the problem is, I don't think they're too big...
