17-inch 2004 Acura TL rims on 2005 Honda Accord
Hello,
I've recently replaced my stock 15 inch steel rims on my 2-door 2005 Honda Accord Coupe with 17 inch Acura TL (2004) ones. The ride is as smooth as it could be, however when I make a sharp right or a sharp left, a non-continuous scraping noise is coming from either of my front wheels. When I make a right, the noise is coming from my left front wheel, when i make a left the noise is coming from my right wheel. My first instinct was to check to see if the wheel was touching the inside of the fender, but that is not the case. Does anybody know what could cause the noise? Here are my new wheel specs: 17 X 8" 5 x 114.3 Offset: 45 mm V6 honda accord models from the same year feature the following rims: 17"x 6.5". 5 x 114.3 Offset: 42mm Thank you, S. |
Possibly wheels bearings or the brake dust shield rubbing on the rotor...
TL wheels fir perfectly with no rubbing, so I don't think the wheels are the issue. |

Take the wheel off, see if it's rubbing on anything/loose, bend it back in place. It's not all the important.

I'd say keep looking for the tire rubbing on something. Those rims are 1.5" wider than the Accord rims. You gave the rim size, but not the TIRE size.

215-50-R17 - just the same as on the V6 Accord. This is probably the thinnest tire i can put on this rim. Original TL tires were 235-45-R17. |
sounds like the issue is not the rim, if that was thecase you would rub turnning both directions. check your breaks line?

Lift car on 4 post jacks, spin tires and listen to where the sound comes from...
