Default Ne1 know why brakes are rubbing

Friday i installed new rotor and pads on the front and today i installed the rear rotors and pads. After i did the fronts i noticed that the left tire after torqued to 100ft-lbs it has a very slight rubbing issue, the good thing is that is even with one complete rotation. The right tire doesn't do this, but the back two do it also. What can i do to fix it?

Is everything stock(wheels and calipers). Some after market wheels have a thin plastic piece that sits in the center of the wheel between the wheel and hub(not a spacer). Take off the wheel thats not rubbing and see if you have one.

This is BEFORE you bedded the brakes?

If so, it's nothing to worry about. Bed in the pads and rotors and recheck.
