Default what's this noise i hear?????!!!!

ok, my tc's drop'd on tein h-tech 2" front 1.5 in the back and i just put on 18" with 225/40/18 tires, it should have been fine but i noticed rubbing issue going over bumps and rough roads here in detroit.
well ....so took those plastic cover inside of my fender and cut about an inch along the out side edge cuz that's where it was rubbing.

it was fine for like 2 days and now, i don't know when it started but i just notived it today, my front driver side wheel?tire?spring?shock? something's making sqeeky noise ( kinda like the noise you would hear when your tires are flat and your car's rolling) so i freak'd out and got out to check it out but my tire pressure was fine!

so tried to bouce on my car see if it's the shocks....that wasn't it either...

then i raised my car to see if there was something wrong with treads, and nothing. clean and smooth.

i don't understand this is a brand new tire i put on and it has less then 100miles on it,
the noise is constant and as i speed up the sqeek speeds up too..

as for driving nothing seems wrong, my steering wheels don't shake the car don't steer off in wrong direction and it doesn't bounce up and down or anything!!

it's driving me nuts here....anyone had this happen' to your car too???

help me pleaaaaaaaaaaseeeeeeeee!!!

"Squeaks" like when you have a flat? I have never heard a flat tire squeak before. Is it actually a squeak or some other sound ??

Did you have sways put in, or have them removed at some time for anything? If so there may not have been enough grease applied to the bushings. That is one culprit.
