I think my tires are rubbing

I have 17x7 ET 40 wheels on my 00 Camry with 215/50-17 tires and I think they were rubbing this past weekend, but I cannot see any evidence, scratches or cuts on the tire, that looks like they were rubbing.

I was going through a 270 degree right turn on ramp for a highway and I hear this weird noise that sounds like its coming from the left rear like the tire was rubbing the fender but I didn't see anything on the sidewall.

Is there any other way to tell if the tire is rubbing? I haven't taken the wheel off to look at the other side yet, but I can barely fit my thumb between the strut and the tire there. Could the tire be rubbing the strut?

Well, if there isn't any marks.... Is the paint on the strut cleaner and shinier than the rest of it?
