how are the wheel bearings, is there any play? when you jack the car up can you wiggle the wheel up and down kinda like it's loose?

Sounds like a suspention issue. YOu are going to have to listen outside the car while a friend is backing up the car.

Rims can nott squeek. You are rubbing on caliper, drum or wheel well. But the actual RIM can not squeek.
