Pulls to the left?

Well I just put on my 17x9 Bullitts and the car pulls to the left. The wheels were balanced and all tires have the same air pressure. My dad thinks a brake might be dragging, how can I fix this?

Take the car out for a drive around the block.If there's a brake dragging that wheel hub will be noticeably hotter than the others.

Did you have an alignment done as well?

Does it do it only when you brake?

No I'm going to have that done now... it's the only thing left I can think of. No the brakes arent dragging, we jacked up every wheel and they would all spin freely. It does pull harder when you brake, but all the weight shifts to the front wheels so that might be why.
