Default Noise with new wheels?

Hey all i just put 18x9.5 all around on my 1999 corvette. 1st of all they do not have tps so the tire pressure sensor system thing is going off and second, they are making a weird almost rubbing sound up front. any ideas?

I'd take the fronts off, and look for any signs of contact. If you don't see anything, then I would suspect a difference in the sound from the different tires. Did you get run-flats or non run flats? The tires could be part of what you're hearing.
