Bad hub/wheel bearings?

I have wondered about putting a spacer behind the hub (10mm or less) to allow for a wider rim/tire in front but would not want to try this without knowing what it will do to the geometry. Inexpensive suspension geometry analysis software died. Literally. So, it wouldn't be inexpensive to figure this out.

I have this exact issue as described when slowing down and speeds reach around 30-35mph. Anyone know what the exact fix was? Thanks
Don't mean to thread jack but wanted to find out if I'm having a hub/bearing issue as well.
I've noticed recently when decelarting at low speed I hear from the inside of my car like a wheel of fortune noise, you know the clicks as it slows down, pic below for refernce lol.
It's coming from the front passenger side area and coming from around where the wheel hubs are but I can only hear it if the windows are closed and I'm decelarting slowly.
Can anyone shed some light on what it could be?

Same thing here. I had assumed it was the car seats for the kids in the back, but yes, I have that exact noise and it's on decel from about 35 mph to 30 mph. I will be reconfiguring the front end in the next couple of months with all new bits - upper control arms, spherical bearings, new ball joints and tie rod ends, but I am suspicious this noise is related to the hub even though it feels tight. The whole chassis is getting a makeover front and rear to make it a better car on track, but this noise is really annoying for sure.

I was just pondering this again today, and I remember some members who had the rear axle nut come loose, now I am wondering if the problem might be at the rear even though the sound seems to come from the front. Ugh. Just one more thing to check...

I swapped my front hubs, but they weren't the issue. Still as tight/smooth as the new ones that replaced them, but I figured as much as I plan to track the next couple years, it's cheap insurance. The Autozone parts discussed here are indeed a perfect match, FWIW.

I installed the FIGS LCAs last year and the weird wheel popping at full lock just started a couple weeks ago. WTF? 
On a side note, my JoeZ exhaust just got really loud all of the sudden and it has been on for a year now as well. I gotta get under it and see if a gasket let go.

Has anyone figured out what this is exactly and what the cause is?
