Just Installed BSA 333 17" wheels

Hi all Just installed a set of bsa 333's in 17" with 205/40/17. everything is fine no rubbing, or other mishaps. one thing i noticed is these are noticeably more noisy than the 15" i took off. also when braking it is noisy, almost sounds scary. is this normal? well i have only had them on like 3 days, they look awesome. i'll post some pics soon.

Im running stock height as well , here in the mountains of west virginia not a good idea to run low or major damage could occur....

sounds like you should bump the pressures up to at least 35 and see if that changes anything for you. you are going to have more "road noise" anyway with a 205 tire vs the 195 you had on.

What kind of noises? You need to be specific....
Road noise is common with 17's as the tires are lower profile. Brake can also be slightly louder as its still road noises.
