wheels squeaking?

i searched but no results about wheels squeaking
yesterday i put my new rims and tires on and they 18x8.5 +38 with 245/40 R18 all around. After i went out from the shop, the front wheels sounded like squeaking. i dont think it was about the breaks cuz i just replaced my hawk ceramic break pads about 4k kms before. then what should it be? anyone could give me some ideas?

did it squeak only when you're on your brakes?
or does it squeak when you're going slow?

Take the wheels off, then put them back on. Might work..

Check the tires. You may be rubbing on the outside or The inside may be scraping the SC.

i used stock ones but they said its a little bit too tight, but it fit very well;

its squeaking when low speed.

and they found out that my left tie rod is loosened. but i dont know what exactly it means but i will let the dealer check it out.....

i will also try remove and put them back.
