ticking sound from the front wheels

[sams2k]

i have a loud ticking sound from my front left wheel under hard fast cornering
i can hear it only when the window is open
in on stock wheels and tires, stock suspension only with front 13mm spacers
any ideas what could make this sound ?
maybe not correct torque for the wheel bolts ? according to BMS its 105 ft-lbs

It took me awhile to figure this one out but its a stock issue that sounds worse with spacers. The real issue is actually the brake disc and is a BMW thing. So BMW owners order a different set without the issue. I've used an Aluminum Alloy (not painted) spacer that got rid of it (brand Motorsport Hardware)

I have it as well and never figured it out. So its the rotor clicking due to the aluminum hub riveted to cast iron ring? I take it the clicks are not harmful then?

these clicks are harmless just annoying

How do you think a non anodized spacer helps? Perhaps I shouldn't use any anti-seize between spacer & hub?
