Default Abnormal noise from rear only at 70 mph

I recently installed axle spacers on my car and now im hearing a loud noise from the rear only when traveling 70-72 mph. the noise completely goes away outside of that range. it sounds almost like amplified wind noise.

Ill be checking under the car today but if anyone has any past experience with something similar, please chime in! thank you.

Could be tires? Or could be unrelated to the wheels entirely. The windshield trim sometimes peels up a bit and catches the wind at certain speeds.

I spent the better part of last summer chasing a noise that turned out to be tires. I'm learning more and more to do some checks when hearing a noise but if everything looks and feels right let it go until more symptoms present.

Bet it's tires if it only happens at certain speeds.
