Sounds like you need to jack up the car, remove the wheel and have a look. It'll most likely be obvious if it's only started happening since you did the work.
Welding and fabrication projects undertaken, contact me for more information.

See if any wheel weights are catching, I had that once, fatter pads pushed the caliper far enough over to catch them lol.

I had exactly the same thing last week, not loose enough to knock but when I went to remove the wheel they took no effort to crack off, never had them loosen before so no idea why it happened this time! Torqued to 90Nm all round now. Still doesn't seem much compared the 130Nm on the Focus lol.
