No rear cam initially; at start up
Odd issue with the rear camera were it doesn't work when I first warm up the car and back out of my steep driveway. Will tinker with it tomorrow.
Also have a rubbing sound coming from the front passenger wheel. Sound comes with every rotation. Could have sworn I had that issue with another car once.
Can't see any obstruction. Tomorrow I'll put my new race lift to good use and hand spin the wheel/tire and see if I can find it.
Funny - I loved the earlier comment that a beautiful car is like a beautiful woman - high maintenance

I always wait until it comes off of fast idle before moving. That's usually about the same time the infotainment comes alive.

Well that might be the camera issue as I have been doing the 'put it in gear to get the car to shut up' thing. Will try a couple things.
As far as the rotational noise, I jacked up the car and spun the wheel by hand and not hearing it. Pulled the wheel off to look further and couldn't see any gravel or obstruction, but I did find this:

I thought my 17mm spacers were clearing the wheels via the metal string measurement test, but apparently not.
So I got out my portable grinder and ground off about 2mm.
Tomorrow's project will be to check the other three wheel clearances. If that rotation sound is still there I'll have a shop or the dealer check it out. Beyond my abilities.

Those gouge marks in the rim look to me to be a fair bit off centre, and I think I can also see crescent shaped gouge marks on the edges of the recesses, on the same side as the off-centre marks.
That tells me the rim wasn't sitting flat/tight to the spacer and as a result it was moving around a little and maybe causing the rubbing/rumbling sound.
Taking 2 mm off the studs should do the trick.

I just took it for a slow drive after that work to the front passenger wheel and I can no longer hear the sound .
Seems 'flatter' now - lol - I know it is weird but I always felt like something was not right.
I know you can grind all the way to the threads but I figured I'd grind away the cupped recess and then about the same amount of space again.
