Wheel bearing noise after skinnies?

[exrider416]

I installed skinnies on the front of my car a few days back and here a slight noise from the passenger side. I'm thinking wheel bearing was bad and skinnies are just putting more stress on it to actually hear it now, sound like a good judgement?

Does it have sticky weights on inside of wheel,could be hittin them.

Yes it does. Will actually check that cause they do look awfully close to caliper

[exrider416]

Think it pulled a few weights off also. Cause it started to shake on my way home and they have never shook before. Going to check in a few too see if its hitting

Thats what it sounds like if you knocked some off I would get them rebalanced bud

All seem to be on and no marks of rubbing. Planned on getting them rebalanced if that were the case.

I think I got a set of hubcentric rings with my set of racestar lugs I bought a while ago. Think there buried in my shed somewhere. Should I try to install them?

That may be a good idea is the center of wheel the actual circle bigger than that of where it mounts to the hub? Hard too explain lol but that could be your issue.

I'm not sure, the fronts are unilug wheels so I'm thinking they are bigger to accommodate other cars. Trying them tomorrow too see if it fixes it.

Installed hubcentric rings and same noise. Drove it on a decent drive. Passenger wheel is alot hotter to the touch than drivers. Lifted car off the ground wheel spun smooth and no noise, pumped the brakes and let off to see if caliper was sticking and nothing there either. Thinking I'm just replacing the wheel bearing, not sure what else would cause that noise and heat with nothing else rubbing at all

Go put your stock fronts back on and see if the noise goes away. Race stars are notorious for vibrating. My guess is its in the front wheels.
