What design are they, two thing could be doing it, if the obviouse touching has already been investigated, one is the design, if the spokes/hub sits out further than the rim than the outer of the rim they could be catching the wind and making some freaky noises, or if the center dishes in then maybe they are "loud" tyres by that i mean do the tyres have wide grooves, directional etc, high performance tyres are in principle very noisy. hope this has been handy.

Honda Civic 2007 Civic . Cahange wheel bearing and

sorry to tell you this but it sounds like the wheel bearing was put in backwards on one or both sides. the front wheel bearings have a black speed ring built in and that is what your speed sensor reads off. - this is common as the front bearings will install either way- hope this helps

Change front wheel studs on a 2003 Honda Civic.

The lugs must be pounded out with a heavy mallet, the new ones can be put back in as much as possible, make sure they are straight, and then use your lug wrench to tighten on the lug nut and keep turning until the lug is fully seated.

1997 honda civic 5 door

Sounds like its not cable, but in the hand brake itself. if the release is broke, pulling up on the cable is not going to hold the car and will give way. really sounds like the locking mechanism on the hand brake is broke.

Just a question

The swap is easy but too much to post here. I will fit into any civic 89-00 with the right aftermarket mounts from hasport or just go to ebay. The engine harness can be purchased at a local juck yard if you don't have a harness with 4 injectors. I you have only two injectors then the harness will need to be modified with vtec wiring and ad the other 2 injectors. Any 90-93 integra axles will fit as long as you use the halfshft. Must be manual. and use a modified shif linkage from ebay. Youmust take off the caps behind the civics hubs. Use a PWO or PR3 ECU. Good luck.
