There is this sound that definitly rotates with the tire. gets faster and slower with acceleration. Ususally only happens after i have been driving for a few minutes. Its really metally sounding. I put on some new RUCAs and some 25 mm spacers and rolled my rear fenders. It isnt tire wear because there is no marks on my tire or inside of fender well. Its just on the drivers side rear. Anyone have any suggestions?

Could also be your hub - your 25mm spacer is putting more stress on it (moving the weight of the wheel further out).
Jack the back of the car, spin the wheel, remove the brakes, spin the wheel again - that'll tell you where the sound is.

I checked my brake pads and they are low. The sound doesnt get louder when i brake though. Ill check for the hubs. Thanks for the suggestions. Ill post some updates tonight.

definately your hubs being worn down i experienced this and later found that the hubs had some play in them resulting from spacers that were installed causing premature wear.

wheel bearings, spacers kill them.
