ticking noise

i have BC coilovers and 18x8 225 40 tires on my car. I keep hearing this ticking noise, and I can feel it especially at low speeds coming from the front wheels. i figured the tire might but be rubbing the strut, but it feels like theres enough clearance. Also the guys who did my alignment say that it doesn't look like theres any rubbing. When I press the breaks in slightly, the ticking sound goes away, and I can barely feel it through the steering wheel. I'm wondering if it might be my brakes. i have 20,000 on it right now. anybody else experience this before. Theres plenty of clearance from the caliper and the wheel, and from the tire and the fender. I'm gonna take the wheel off tomorrow, but I was just wondering if anybody else experienced this before.

Jack the front of the car up and spin the tires and see if you can hear it.

Also... what is your brake setup? is it stock or something else?

Found what the problem was. I jacked it up when i got a chance, spun the wheel, and heard no ticking. Went to take the wheel off, and 4 out of 5 of the lugs were loose. Forgot to retorque them after i first put them on a few days before.
