Thudding

So saturday i went and jacked the driver side of the car to pop off the driver side front tire to inspect the rotar and brake pads. I found no defects other then the rotar slightly warped. As i didnt have the time to take the rotars off and get them turned, i put the tire back on. Now this morning on my way to work i have a crazy thudding noise. I know it isn't the engine as i turned off the vehicle and it still was happening. I cant pinpoint the location, but i can guarantee it was never there before i took off the tire. I have a 2005 rx8 Manual with upgraded sway bars and springs. stock wheels and the tires are relatively new. Any ideas? Is there a special way to mount the wheels on? Like lug x at 12 oclock has to go to hole x on the wheel?

did you remember to toque the lug nuts down? Do you tighten them in a star pattern?

what kind of thudding noise is it? How does it happen when the engine is off? (are you just letting the car role or it does it when the car isnt moving)

I posted in another thread. I figured it out. Forgot to torque the rear lugs. I forgot that I even loosened the rear tire
