Rattle noise?

Hello,
My problem is when i step on my brakes hard i get an almost chain like rattle,
Was wondering if anyone might know what that is.
And another problem for me is my front tires/rims rub when i turn.
I know 16 inch isnt factory for my 85 z28 but can i do something to stop the rubbing?
Thank-you

Depending on where the tire rubs, you can add a spacer and your problem will be solved. About the breaks, your pads might be shot. Mine made a crackling sound almost like what you described and a change of pads fixed her up.
