Front brakes rattling

I just put new stock front rotors and pad on my 97 v6 camry. When I go over bumps there is a rattling in the front end. I'm almost certain it has something to do with the brakes because it does not rattle when you go over a bump with the brakes on.
Any suggetions for what I could do to remedy this problem would be greatly appreciated.

I do have the 17" TRD solara wheels on my car if that has anything to do with this problem. The were not an issue before I changed the rotors and pads though.

make sure everything lines up right and tight. also make sure you have your brake shims from the old pads on the new ones.
