wheels causing ticking sound

[stang0f87]

ok i've got 15*8.5 centerline warriors with 4.5" backspacing on my 87 gt. i got around the tire rub i believe but i'm getting a ticking sound thats bout to drive me nuts. seems like i read someplace that its caused by the caliper bolts. thinking bout grinding them down a little and see if that helps. it only makes the sound when i cut the wheels either direction. any ideas?

I have the same problem but mine tick all the time. Someone told be it could be the cotter pin rubbing on the underside of the cap. I need to pop em off and clip them down a bit to see.

Once I was freaking out cause I could hear a ticking everytime my tire spun and it would speed up/slow down with me. Figured out it was a peice of gravel stuck in the tread rofl...just a thought if you drive on gravel any.

might also be bearings going dry...I had that problem before I went to 5 lug...hope not, but possibly

kinda doubt its the bearing though i'm not dismissing that possibility. just poked my finger through the wheel holes. don't feel like i got much clearance for the caliper bolts or the housing for that matter. it'll be ugly but think i'll grind a little off and see what happens
