This is Interesting...

I washed my car today and very shortly after noticed a grinding or rattling while hitting the breaks . I then shortly after felt a rattling underneath my feet when hitting the breaks. This all happening at a very low speed.

I thought it may be the Emergency break sticking, but I never had it engaged to begin with, so I pushed it in and out to ensure its release.

After the breaks warmed up a bit, the problem went away.

Any ideas?

I just had the stock 17's replaced with Limited 18's yesterday and new tires.

What the hell!!

Maybe the tire installers bent one of your brake shields just a little bit.

I would say that is a fair assumption...

Damaged ABS Sensor maybe?
Did you get alignment when they installed the 18's? Were the 18's balanced?

Hhhmmmmmmm?????

maybe you ran over the bucket and its stuck underneath the car? lol

Well, Im pretty sure I know what the culprit is. The tires are 265/70 R18. The edge of the tire will hit the control arm when I hit the breaks when the steering wheel is cranked: see photos

Please use the MACRO key on your camera & not post huge pictures, so we don't have to use the slider on my computer screen.

Thank you.

It's spelled B - R - A - K - E - S

Breaks, is the current tense of something that has broken. "When I snap a twig in half, it breaks"

For your problem it's probably just rust on the rotors, otherwise clearer pictures would help.

Oh you went with bigger tires. That'll do it.

You went two sizes bigger on the tires from stock, that can definitely cause some rubbing.
