   Yes your wheels are far too big for the car,hence the scraping.

   screeching noise is clutch release bearing, rest of your issues are down to the wheels being too big for the car, please bin them, they are causing problems and are about as fashionable as syphillis in a knocking shop

    release bearings usually come as part of a clutch kit. if you look on ebay i'm pretty sure i seen some for around £20-30. do you have the ability to remove your gearbox? if not its a job for someone else

    please dont buy a clutch kit off ebay for 20 -£30, guarentee it will fail again 10 miles down the road lol.
    
    go to a motor factor to buy a valeo clutch kit, looking around 70-£80
