Wow, thanks, you guys don’t disappoint! I feel like my answer in here somewhere.
No rear backing plates in the car, but it does have fronts, I’ll see if one got bent (although wouldn’t that be a constant noise??)
I don’t have the original wheels anymore, otherwise I’d swap them back and see, for sure. I did have to get longer lug bolts. I have some shorter ones I can experiment with, also some 5 mm spacers I can try. (Although again, wouldn’t the noise be constant if this were the problem, not just when braking?)
Both of the above are good leads, because the squeal happened after putting the new wheels on, when I hadn’t changed the pads yet.
Squeal clips can’t be on backwards, they only go on one way. And they came installed already. They are fully seated.
I’ll try the shorter lugs. Check the backing plates. Then might try Island’s suggestion, since it doesn’t involve any actual work. Then go down the list from there.
