Squeaking noise from drivers side front wheel

So recently I purchased some XXR 555’s and they didn’t clear the calipers up front. So I had to get some APR extended wheel studs and some 10mm hub centric wheel spacers, I of course had to take off the caliper, the brake rotor and the old studs.

After about 1 day or driving, I realized I heard a squeaking noise from that spot, do you think it is the brake pads rubbing on the brake rotor possibly? Or does it already rub the brake rotor while rolling?????

i have no idea what the noise could possibly be. Help me out!

All I can say is that using spacers changes load stress geometries, how that can/will affect things is beyond my understanding. Squeaks seem possible.

Pull the wheel off & check for the obvious. Its possible you bent the dust shield & maybe rubbing the rotor. Ive had this issue thats why i recommend checking

Just a thought!
