probly ur brakes,

18" rims shouldnt grind on the brakes unless he upgraded them to a larger size, Is it a metal on metal grinding or a plastic sound ?

 

[Gingerbreadman]

yea check the brakes,make sure the pads arnt low and the metal thing is hitin,or maby a brake shield,u took that a differnt way,lol,im pretty sure he wouldnt buy too small a rim,im just tryin to help,i was a tech for 6 years and from the description thats where id start

just said a grinding noise didnt say the sound type lol

If his wheel well guards are hitting it would make a grinding noise , if the brake shield is bent towards the rotor it would make a grinding noise too

Could be a brake shield... I have had that happen to me a few times when swapping tires, the brake shield will get bent and sound comes from the rotor scrapping against the shield.
