Annoyance

I hear metal grinding against the rim of my left front. I had taken the tire off a few weeks ago, and noticed the metal on metal sound a few days later. The bolts are all in snug and the tire is straight, else I'd be slightly veering one way or another. I took it off again thinking maybe it wasn't on right, but to no avail. Is it possible the wheel is rubbing the brake rotor? Do I have the lugs too tight?

it could be the brake calipers sticking with some worn out brake pads. check temperatures after driving on the calipers of the brakes after driving for awhile.
