Default Grinding Noise

About two weeks ago I rotated the tires and know I have this low rumbling type of noise that at some times sounds like it is grinding. Let me go back to last year and explain...Around this time last year I had the front disk brakes dilled for ventillation and also had the brake pads replaced (not original brand). After a month out of town I noticed a slight low rubling going on but I was told it was due to the mods on the disks. If it would have been bearings it would not have lasted to today. Now after rotating tires it is unberable specially at around 20 MPH. I know for sure it is not engine related since in neutral and revs it is smooth.

Advice??

Thanks all!

ok just the simpile things first
rotate the wheels to the correct pattern
torque the lug nuts to 75lb
the brake screw to 25lb
did you install the brakes shim kit for the old brakes onto the new brakes
did you inspect you wheels for nails screws splinters
put the lug nuts on in a star pattern then torque the in the star shape

Hmm... I had a problem like this before right after installing a BBK. I found out that the dust cover behind the rotor was slightly bent and grinding against the rotor. You should check that.
