R32 Wheel noise

[Nismo_286]

hi,

anybody can help me to decipher this problem of mine?

I have upgraded my 16" tyres (stock std) on my R32 to 17". Eversince then, I have this deep hollow whirring noise whenever I do a right turn on a round-about or a tight turn. This noise seems to be coming from the front of my car.

And the noise doesn't exist whenever I am travelling straight.

Any suggestions on what the heck is going on here? I am having 17x8 at the front and 17x9 at the back. 235/45 n 255/40 respectively.

Any advice would be appreciated.

How many km has your car travelled?

wheel bearings stuffed?

BIGBLOCKR31COUPE - it is close to 113000 km.

Duncan - how do u tell if it is the bearings that is stuffed? And how much to replace them?

DJ984 - I found rubber marks on the A-arm at the front. I suspect that my tyres rubbed against the "arms" when I brake hard. Any suggestions to how I should go about solving them?

Thanks to one and all for your advice.

When you brake hard???? It could be one of many things and without hearing the actual noise we are all guessing. Could be worn suspension bushes, wheel bearings, tyre fault, loose plastic trim.....the list goes on. Ask a suspension specialist to have a look. It might only cost you a couple of bucks.
