It doesn't sound like separated plies in the tire. Plus they tend to be in time with tire rotation.

If Trips' bearing theory isn't right, my next guess would be brakes.

Good luck.


Edit: It could be the spacers shifting ever so slightly. Use a torque wrench to tighten all lugs. If that doesn't work, try a little graphite where the spacers touch the wheel and hub.
Edit2: Graphite not meant to be a fix, just a troubleshooting aid. If the noise disappears, you have a problem with spacer/lugs/bolts/wheel.
Just be aware don't over tighten the spacers. 75ib torque at max.
