Narrative:
A spacer was apparently left out on a right nose tire change on a B757-200, aircraft xyz. I was notified of this on aug/xx/98, by air carrier, my employer. Apparently the wheel/brake shop found a spacer stuck to old tire. The problem was corrected through technical service. A factor may that have contributed was poor lighting.
