you might want to try and see if you can take out or cut or mod the part that its rubbing against to see if that will help

Does your car pull to the left? Does the rim get hot? It sounds to me like your brake caliper is sticking.

Sounds like the constant volocity joint has worn. Possible due to that fact that the new rotational mass of the "20'S" is too much for the original equipment manufactured part. The inercia generated by the larger tires and new alignment will cause that. You did raise/modify the suspention when you added the tires? Im sure you wouldnt just hap hazardly throw some 20's on there and go styling...would.did you?

thats why i just went wit 18's on my camry i was going to go 20's but i changed my mind...because of all the possibilities that could happen like to u for instance. also you would spend alot of money on brake pads becuz the rims diameter is so much bigger it wears out the brake pads faster....

lol You are supposed to beef up the braking system when you get rims. It wears them alot faster trying to stop all that weight.
