Please keep me up to date with your findings, I've been battling a similar issue with my 99 SVT for a year now. I thought my new 225/50/16's were rubbing, but when I put my 205/55/16 snows on I still get a vibration (it never happened before with these tires). The vibration is really bad when I go over a knoll, when the weight is unloaded from the tires. I thought it was a bent half-shaft, but after replacing that the problem is still there. I don't have a lot of play in my wheels when I check them for bearing problems, but I do notice a slight hum when cruising at highway speeds. I also get a vibration when cruising along at highway speeds.
