If they are a close offset to vaux then yes. You may need to remove bolt that hold rear arch on and bond it on with tigerseal or similar

Right here is what to do, undo the bolts on the rea rplastic arches and remove them, cut the rear arch up to the bolt holes following the curve of the arch do this both sides, trim some off the lip on the plastic arch them bond them back on, see how you go on the fronts, if they catch which is likely do the same with the arch here, once done you should be able to lower 60mm with no worries

Do it ya self man, its so easy, make sure ya paint the bare metal with a paint stick from halford or a sealer and cut the arch round with a hacksaw or angle grinder, get the bonding stuff from a bodyshop, its called sikaflex or tigerseal strong as feck once stuck you will be hard pressed to pull off the arches
