mystery sound with new spacers...

Wow, it's good to be back. Long absence due to family "stuff". Anyway, I put on my new 17" black Cup2 wheels a few weeks ago but, sadly, just drove the car today. I am getting a weird sound from the front right wheel...not a rubbing but like "thu-thunk-tha-thunk-tha-thunk" any suggestions?

I put the spacers on with regular lugs...if that matters.

Any help is appreciated...

Before you assume anything, look closely at the tire and the fender lip. Then go check the compatibility of the lug nuts to the spacers. You might see marks in there telling you what's happening. Also, spacers put additional loads on the wheel bearings. That's worth a check, too.
