After quite a lot of clicking from the rear end of my car, and countless searches on this site, I finally came upon a thread where someone had this same clicking from the rear of the car and it turned out to be a nut inside the wheel/tire.

So after buying and retorquing spindle nutes, taking off pistons and hubs, I took off the wheel again and shook it around, and what do you know, rattling!!! I never thought to shake the wheel around!

Apparently on SSR wheels, I have SP1's, they have two nuts holding the valve stem on the inside. One of the nuts backed off, and "tadah", rattling from the rear end.

Finally got it fixed today. So for those of you with SSR wheels, check that valve stem if you hear clicking from the wheels/tires. And thanks to whomever posted that, saved me a trip to the dealership.

very nice!
but thats not only SSR that uses that style valve stem. that type of vavle stem can be used on ANY rim. even stock.

Jeggy,

Is that right? I had never heard of such a thing. Granted, I haven't had too many sets of rims, much less looked at the valve stems. I'm just glad they aren't clicking anymore. Drove me nuts!

I had rattling noise, but it turned out it was a rock stuck under the car, wedged into a crack along the exhaust pipe right before it splits into the two mufflers!
