Recently purchased a set of TSW's and tyres from ebay, bought some tappered wheel bolts to suite

I started to get a revolving type rubbing noise which felt worse on braking but also like a balancing problem at 45-50mph

Dropped into my friendly garage and they said they could not find anything wrong, though they only had a quick look there was nothing that would fail an MOT

I told them what I had done and they said the bolts might be slightly too long, got home and checked them and they showed no signs of wear on the ends

Put my cyclones back on the front and it seems to be ok now, test it properly on the way to work tomorrow

anyone else had this problem?

I will probably grind 1-2mm off the tappered bolts and refit at the weekend and see if the cyclones are fine

Same size as my cyclones and tyres the same size, where the tsw's are convex and the cyclones are concave both wheels sit in exact allignment

Today with the cyclones back on the front it was fine

I am going to put it down to the bolt length i have used on the tsw's and the possibilty it is forcing the hub/disc out of shape causing brake rub

I am going to trim the bolt to the same length as the cyclone bolt

Thanks for your thoughts
