Front bearing problem ?

My right front bearing make a nasty grinding sound when I apply the brakes. At first I figured it was just worn pads so I had them replaced today. Problems is still there. I have 35" tires on 16" X10" rims and have been told that this combo puts added stress on the bearings. Any one else have problems ? I'm not even sure if it the bearings. Any information would be appricated.

Front bearing problem ?

The tire and wheel combo does put more stress on your bearings, but not usually a problem.

It only happens when braking??

You may want to jack up that corner and spin the wheel, see if you can hear anything, grab the top and bottom of the tire and see if there is any play back and forth.

I may be a bearing, but many others run larger than stock tires with no problems.
