wheel bearing?
if the noise is kinda droning i'd think it was a bearing..
if its not droning perhaps knocking from too big wheels/suspension wear?

Your bolts... probably the locking ones are too long, same thing happened to me when I replaced my VW alloys for after market ones.
I had to file the locking bolts down a few mm.
