wifes wee motor

Hi All
1st : appologies for not being scorp related.. 
I am doing some work on the wifes wee Punto for a new mot, and after renewing the brakes shoes and putting all back together. I am getting a sqeauking noise from rear wheels..
When I remove the wheels and turn by hand, no noise.
I have checked all shoes,drums etc..
I think the cause could be the washers that come with the studs/bolts for the alloys wheels.
Can these be worn and cause such noises?
anybody had this with any car?
thnx in advance mick.

hi mick
wheel bolts too long? you'll need to cut the ends a bit or try hazelton.
most after market alloys for the puntos use a spacer ring on the hub as well. is this ring missing?

Hi
problem was caused by bolts being too long by about 2mm
I took the drums off and put the wheel back on without drums in place,turned wheels and I could see where it was hitting.studs only just hitting the short spring of the 2 at top of shoes.
3mm-4mm off should do the trick, grinder time.
cheers all

Were they new Mick?
Wonder why you've never had the problem before?

Alloys were new 2 years ago stuart, I bought this off a m8 for a wee project ( and to keep the wife quiet) 
He was nt sure if this happened to him when I d asked.
I spoke to a bloke today at hazelton's wheels in hillington and he says i could fit other spacer's at wait for it £10 each...  I dont think so..the grinder it is.
