Exclamation Brake/spacer issue!

I just put on 20mm spacers on the front and 25mm spacers on the back. My front right brake is making a noise when ever I drive. I know its my brakes because when I use them the noise goes away. Here is a video of the noise it is making whenever I drive. WHAT IS WRONG?!?!

Copy and paste this link if the video dose not work on the fourm.

So the noise only started happening when you installed the spacers? Same wheels/tires before and after the spacer install?

Yup just when I installed the spacers and yes same wheels and tires. Im thinking it is a warped rotor.

I'm not sure how a spacer install would affect the brake components.. maybe take the wheel off and spray a little brake cleaner? Or check to make sure all lugs are tightened?

Make sure you install the spacers properly . I did wheels spacers for few hundreds miles & had no issues or anything ( ichiba v2 )

They are perfectly fine on all the other tires. I switched the front two (left and right) and still the same result. =(
