Problem with Volk SF Challenges HELP PLEASE

Just installed a set of 19in volks on the g coupe with brembos. I had to remove the bolt on the front rotor to get it to fit. Now i hear a wearing noise from the front. Its worse when i step on the brakes. I dont see it hitting anywhere but I would like to know if anyone else has the same problems and what they did to fix it. I will be stopping by infiniti later but please let me know if you can. Thanks!

You don't give much info about the wheel type and offset. Did you make sure the wheel spokes don't hit the Brembo caliper?

Also make sure your new tires, probably wider than what you used to have, don't hit your fenders. Putting th brakes on shifts the body of the car and might make your new tires rub.

wearing noise??...you mean like rumbling tires coming to a stop? When was the last time you got your alignment? Could it be your tires are still breaking in? I would take off the wheel to check to see if there is premature wearing anywhere. Then you will know if its rubbing since these are brand new.
