    After adding 15mm spacers to the rear of my 348 (with stock wheels) I noticed that the rear brakes squeak now.
    I used the longer bolts that came with the spacers. I don't see why this would happen. Has anyone had this happen before?
    If so how did/would you fix it?
    TIA

    No correlation. In removing the wheels and fitting the spacers, dirt/dust must have gotten in the calipers. Clean you rotors with brake cleaner. As long as you were using the correct bolts, there will be no clearance issues. Now which set of spacers did you use?

    Pull out some of your bolts (one at a time) and see if they have any scuffing/scrapes on the ends...

    Got any pics before and after the addition of the spacers? Or at least after.

    Thanks for the info! I used hill engineering spacers with matching bolts.
