Help! Spacer problems!

I have recently installed H&R 25mm front, 15mm rear spacer on my car.. now my car is making this squeeking noise when it comes to a stop or reverse.

Sounds like metal scratched.... is this sound NORMAL??

Are you sure the tires aren't hitting the fenders somewhere?

nope, there is a gap in between... and the sound certainly don't sound like tires rubbing... it sounds like metal disc scraping...

possibly wheel bearings/hubs.

your bearings could have been in not so good condition before the spacer install, and after putting them on, it could have just made it worse.

Well, without hearing the sound I can't even venture a decent guess. I think I'd take the spacers off and see if the noise goes away. At least that might narrow it down a little.
