So I installed StopTech rotors and pads on the rear of my '00 LX470

They've been great, however I'm getting a light clicking sound from the left side that increases with speed. It never did this before.

I took and look and I think my caliper might be touching the wheel weights that are stuck to the inside of my rim. If not the clearance is crazy close.

Why would it not have rubbed before the brake change? And why only on one side?
 
Brake caliper is floating in the rear I think so new pads means it has to slide into the wheel to accommodate the pad thickness.

And the stick on wheel weights are not in the same place on both wheels

Thanks makes sense

Took the wheel off and confirmed that's what it is. Tire shop is moving the weights tomorrow
