Considering as no one wants to buy my car, I might as well get some wheels Now my question is, my cars been lowered 40mm all round. SERIOUSLY how much work is involved and what work to ensure NO SCRUBBING ON FULL LOCK with 2 passengers??

nothing at the front.
at the back, cut the metal up under the plastic arch trims about an inch, glue the p[lastic arch back on, fit longer bumpstops.
did this on mine, 17's lowered 60mm, never rubbed even with a full car.
