Default Loud Rubbing Noise

I took my car out for a drive today and as I approach 20+ mph the front passenger side near had a loud rubbing noise. I then pulled over to see if the tire were rubbing but i have about a 1/2 inch wheel gap. As i went faster the noise would keep going and be periodic. Anyone know what it could be? I'm thiniking its the wheel bearing.

By periodic do you mean it makes the noise roughly once every tire rotation and rises in pitch the faster you go? If so, it's probably not a wheel bearing. Wheel bearings sound like a grinding all the time and it doesn't change in pitch or seem periodic at all.

And if it only happens above 20mph, then that's more evidence against the defendent .

Check for debris under and around your car, wheels and brakes included, and make sure there aren't pebbles or anything jammed in your brake dust shields.

Make sure your brake lines are following the correct path and not grinding against your rim.

Either a wheel bearing or an axle. Does it thump or clunk when you turn or hit bumps?

How much does it usually cost for a bearing/labor? I can take it out just cabt get the bearing pushed out.

you have to take the whole knuckel off. Bearings are usually $25-50 plus whatever the shop charges you to press it on(cost me another $20 per side)
