Default POPing noise passenger side rear wheel?

Not rly sure if this is where to post this but heres my problem. I got some 20 inch wheels put on my car a few days ago. Now it is makein a POPing noise when i take off at 20 MPH or less on the passnger side rear wheel. I chked for rubing found no signs i chked the lugs and lug nuts nothing they are to spec. Now i havent really had this car to long but i was wandering what u guys think the problem is i think it is a CV joint but i know those are rly on front wheel drive cars but i dont know about the Z cus of course it is rear wheel drive but like i said i havent had it very long so im a bit confused on what it could be, but thats kind of the symptoms of a CV joint problem. Would love for a little advice on from someone who has had there Z longer and is more experienced with them then me. Thank you

Is it better described as clicking rather than popping? You may have the axle clicking which isnt a big issue and is covered by warranty.

Could be the axle click (refer to TSB), or a bad end link (they go bad frequently on Zs, especially ones with aftermarket sway bars)
