Default Click when driving off.

I noticed a clicking sound everytime I move my car from idle position. If I reverse I also hear the clicking. Also I was on the freeway and when there was traffic, there was a bit of acceleration and deceleration and during this the clicking was there. It sounds like its coming from the front of the car, possibly the right side. Also I have aftermarket wheels.

The specs, if needed:

19x9.5 +22F
19x10.5 +22R

255/35/19 F
285/35/19 R

If someone could help me i would appreciate it.

I plan on taking it to the dealership this thursday or friday, since my car is still under warranty.

I went to Nissan Service and they fixed it under 36,000 factory warranty.
They removed my rear axles and regreased them. The clicking sounds were gone for about a month and i hear the noise again especially when i reverse, move forward and stop (noise at this point). Nowdays I just ignore them by people saying thats common issue for the most 350Z and G35. I suggest that you should go to the closest Nissan Service and they fix it for you.
