Knocking sound near tire

I would pull the tire off and try a different one, could be separated, Maybe run it with your spare tire on it and see if it still does it. Do you have rallye rims? Maybe you have a trim ring that creaks or the center cap is loose? Also snug up the lug nuts, gotta rule stuff out and you should find it.

Yeah I'll pull each rear wheel off and take a look. I have the stock rims. The rings and caps seem tight but I'll double check.
