im not sure but sometimes you need a certain legnth of wheelnuts to hold nut just the wheel on but to hold the hub/brake discs on aswell.Your hubs/discs are about to fly off matey.

Touching on anything? Front or back or all round?
EDIT: I'm going to go with the answer that the bolts aren't long enough, as there was a similar thread on here a while back, and that was the solution.

if you put too long a bolt in then it will catch on the inside of the discs
