Ive just fitted some lovely TSW 15" alloys to my 16v and it looks great, they came of a 16v so fitted easily, only prob is the near side rear wheel catches on the wing and makes a slight rubbing noise! If i raise the suspension it goes away obviously.
There looks to be no wear on the arm bearings!
Help! I dont want to take them off as they look real nice!
Rubbing Me up!

When I fitted the 17" alloys to my old Bx16v, I had to the grind the inner metal rear arch back 3mm so that it was near flush with the return lip of the plastic outer arch extension piece.
I would also advise that you check clearance on the head of the bolt that holds the rear arm, as I had an issue getting round this depending on the ET offset of the wheel and if spacers are required.
I would use Kitch's recommended choice of tool
