That would be a clunk, but possibly could be a strut.

As mentioned above, did you re-install the spring wrap that was on the originals? Also, noise could be due to shot end links.

245/35/20s are a good size on rims from 8 to 9.5" widths. As far as white letters on your tires, here's a thread on myG37, I tend to agree w/ reply #8
