I replied to your other thread about this
Removing the front and rear arch liners give plenty of arch room inside. The choice of width and offset of rims and how much camber you run on the rear will determine if you need the rear arches rolled.
I'm assuming you're going for a stance look?

Sorry Lewis, I hadn't realised. I'm planning on keeping the arch liners hopefully, and I'm not going for a stance look, I'll be getting a fast road set up once it's lowered

I don't think you'll have space under the arch without removing the arch liners. I've caught the front of mine on track and I'm only lowered around 20-30mm with 17's.
If you want it to handle well, stick with the 17 inch rim. Don't go any lower than 30mm. A decent geometry set up with a good quality tyre and you can't go wrong.
