The front is fine - I've had all the bits in and around the wheels thoroughly checked when I had the calipers replaced - which they tailor-made for either 15" or 16" ready for the new ones in spring. I asked the garage to do this for me, and they did. So the front are not the problem.
As far as the grinding is concerned its one of the back ones

I had a front bearing problem which I left too late (half a week)
and the front hub assembly where the wheel bearings fit into got damaged.
The wheel bearings actually disintegrated!

Bottom line is: if you hear anything from the front wheels - check
them bearings.
