Clicking noise by the rear tire

I just put my stocks back on and now I have a clicking noise out of my rear driver side. Every time I turn the wheel and slowly hit the gas I hear the noise. Could it be something rubbing although it sounds more like a popping noise. Any inputs?

are you sure it didn't do it before you changed your tires?

The only thing I can think of is that rear axle TSB. Just needed some tightening.

Take it to the dealership. They'll lube the rear axal or something like that. Its a common problem in G35s....something in the rear needs lubing.

So when you're stop and start to accelerating almost immediately a little pop sound or a click sound occurs correct?

^ Yes that's exactly it. The noise starts right when I start and stop.

The noise started when I put the stocks back on. I didn't have that problem when my m45 wheels were on.

Its probably that...I think it's even a TSB. Bring it to them and describe to them (don't mention the part about swapping the wheels)....and they should know exactly what you're talking about.

Did you look for a rock or a nail stuck in it?

It's the axle click TSB. I have the same issue and will be fixing it soon.

Let me see if I can find the TSB for you

I think i have this problem. It just happened. I hear the clicking noise when I step on the gas or brake. It's fine when I hit Reverse. Is this still common.
