Default Rubbing noise around 20mph and again at 35mph

I started hearing this slight rubbing noise after installing my coilovers, but I'm having a tough time determining what it could be. It sounds like it's coming from the front of the car, so I took off the front wheels to see if the tires were rubbing on the struts for some reason, but it doesn't look like they are. My car isn't that low, so I shouldn't be rubbing any part of the fenderliner, etc...

My only thought is that it could be from my tires(especially because it's an intermittent noise and my tires are pretty worn at this point). Any other thoughts? Anything I should check? thanks in advance!

Default yeah i bent them back and the noise seems to have died down a bit...

so hopefully that's what it was. i'll see if it's still noticeable tomorrow when i drive the car for a longer amt of time.
