Aftermarket Rims/Stock Suspension?

Hey everyone, since I have gotten my 17" Rated R wheels with Khumo tires about 2 years ago on my 01' civic 2dr EX, I have had this weird thumping noise that comes from the front suspension when I go up/down driveways, when i do U-turns, basically anything that compresses the suspension alot. When I had my stock wheels, this never happened. Does anyone else that have aftermarket wheels have this thump sound that comes from the suspension like mine? Thanks.

it might be your wheels thats causing the problem... i havent heard of something like that before.

Take it to a tire shop and have them see if they are balanced properly.

are your shocks still good? have you taken out the wheels and inspected your suspension/wheels?
