Wheel spacers
I had my Indy shop install a 2010 18" front wheel on my '06 street glide. Got the bike home and went to roll it in the garage and the brakes were dragging pretty bad. I got to looking at it and they reused the spacers from my '06 axle setup. When I dropped it off I gave them a 25mm axle off of an '08 along with the '08 spacers. Just looking to confirm that with the 2000-2007 spacer not being the same widths will cause the wheel to not be centered and cause the drag before I call and complain.

Correct...You need the 2008-later spacers.
Proper rotor(s)-to-caliper(s) alignment really starts with the Left spacer (clutch lever side). With the 2000-07 only being approx .045" different from the 2008-later, it's enough for slight misalignment, but not enough for someone to say "Hey, this doesn't fit".
Look closely at your Left Rotor/Caliper...You should see that the rotor is not centered in the caliper.
Btw, I would get your old 1" axle and spacers back
