Default Front wheel rubbing?

Hello Group,
I dropped my cell phone today and it went under my car by the driver front tire. While getting my phone I notice that my driver's side front tire has a black rub mark center of the sidewall. I am running Replica GT500 Wheels with NITTO 555's. I purchased them through Discount Tire. I did not have time to pull the wheel/tire off the car tonight, but will in the morning. I checked my passenger side and there is no rubbing on that side. I do not hear anything while driving, nor feel anything while driving.Has anyone heard of this before? Or has anyone had this happen to them? I will post what I find tomorrow after I pull the tire off.
Thank you for your help in advance,

Keith

Sorry for the late reply. Well, found the problem at the dealer. I could have done it, but they screwed up when they did the strut work in the past. The bolt on one of the end links that sticks out towards the tire was too long and just touching the tire. It didn't do any damage, but definitely left a mark. Easy fix, shorter bolt. You would think they would know what they are doing being the dealer and all, but I guess we all make mistakes.
Thank you for your help everyone,

Keith
