Default dodgy car noises help!

hi guys i put on some 15 inch alloys few month ago on my mark 4 fiesta and recently i noticed that when im doing a u turn or or owt i can here a creaking from the steering wheel but dont here owt when i driving normal just when i slow right down and i turn wheel now i asked someone i know who dables abit on cars and he said that it most likely cos of size of wheels but not to worry about as its like example a creaking door now he said if i put originals back on it would stop , im not realy positive on that and the noise just getting annoying now im guessing its under some pressure cos size but ive seen other fiestas with 16 and 17 inch wheels on has other ppl got round this ?? any help would be great

Pretty sure that's bollox dude, Wheel size to a 15" would do naff all, I'd say lower arm's my self .

He sound's a bit of a pillock if you ask me, Did ford release the car with creak's and knocks? no exactly!.
