Well I might have a good idea as what it could be. If it's actually comming from the wheel itself i'm not sure, it could be a number of things. But if it sounds almost like a rattling next to the tire it might be a loose heat sheild. It happened to my 96. You could hear it when you hit small bumps and when it was ideling at certain rpms. Take a look under the car you should be able to find it, if that's what it is. I got mine welded but if you don't care you can just take it right off. Cheers
