I would say CV joints. Bigger wheels= more weight.

Are you sure your car did not do it prior to the brakes being fitted?

First of all you want to go check everything is tight and fitted correctly.

Contact the manufacturer of the brakes and ask if its been reported before.

Reason I say that is the R35 GTR does the same thing with the Brembo discs, the hats of the disc make a noise like a bad CV joint on full lock, its a awful noise but normal on them.

A temp field fix was to remove the disc and apply a very light smear of copper grease to the hub face, ensuring its nice and clean first with no rust at all on the hub face.

DO NOT put loads of copper slip on tho or it will spit out with centrifugal force and make a right mess of wheels, discs and anything else it hits..

This does work I have done it on loads of the R35 in Scotland its not a long term fix tho.

That's if it is that I am not saying yours is that fault, it's just I have seen it on the R35 Brembo's as I used to be the GTR master Technician for Nobles in Edinburgh and it was common on the first lots of R35..

Good luck.
