sounds dumb but maybe a rock or something caught in between the caliper/pads? Is it while your going straight or just while turning? What size wheels and tires you go with or are you on coilovers on stock wheels, maybe you need a spacer? Sorry some of the questions may seem basic..... What were the alignment specs?

I would pull off the wheel completely and look at the inside of the tire for wear marks from rubbing. Also look thoroughly while wheel is off at your fender liner (front portion of the liner and rear). Hope this helps....

My guess is either the tire is rubbing on the coilover or the fender liner.
