Hmm, might not be too bad then.

Were the tyres on your 17's 40 profile?

I had et38 and 195/50/15 tyres which rubbed on big bumps so never bothered lowering untill i bought et49 wheels. You would be best going for a 185 tyre tho so the walls dont poke out as much. Should be fine and the arch work would be minimal anyways. Sand the plastic arch back a bit and take the top bolt of the rear arch out and stick it on with a bonding adhesive.

Mine are ok 60mm front but 40mm rear as they did touch a tiny bit when loaded in the rear , but if I sorted the arch trims I could go 60mm rear no problem, if fact I might do that in the next few weeks.
