1. xgeua22 Says: I just replaced my 17" factory rims for the 19" factory rims with new tires. Now when I reverse I hear a squeak when I brake. It'll only do it when it barley starts otherwise it just goes away. Anyone knows whats the problem?
2. phillykelloggguy Says: You've added more rotational inertia with the larger wheels (even though they are forged lightweight Rays wheels) and thus have increased the level of brake force (and the friction) required to stop the car. This increased friction level can make the pads squeal more than the 17" wheels did. Other potential causes are that the pads may also be worn or the rotors may be getting scored up. How old are the pads? Are they OEM pads and do they have the shims installed?
3. Chuck Norris Says: What year G35? I know the earlier '6MT' models equipped with the Brembo brakes were known to be noisy.
