The minimum you will have to do is take the bolts off the arches at the back and bond them back on. But all depends how low you want to go, i was down 60mm on et 42 17's, but had to have my rear arches debolted and flared out to fit them without rubbing.

I had the kei racing rss wheels on my car mate, think they were 205/45/17 - got spax coilovers fitted and the wheels just wouldn't fit without major scrubbing. They were et45 with 7.5wide tyres....took it to a motor engineers and they adv it needed serious work to make them fit and still be lowered 65mm...best to trial fit the wheels before you buy, if you can mate

You should be able to get full lock as i could, but it will rub if you take corners at certain speeds and over bumps. I didnt do any work to the front but de bolting like the back would prob favour you, check my garage if you want to see pics
