which suspension? fks?
the offset you have will more than likely save you having to use spacers...

you'll need to trim the front inner arch-liners slightly & just knock the rear arches out with a rubber mallet
just make sure you have low profile tyres...
15's will go better than 17's

think about it again you might have problems with rubbing especially on the rear with that offset.....
just dont go to low with them....... and debolt the arches....
if needs be get the grinder out its not that much work really

take arches off and bond back on, shouldnt be a big job, hows that work with taking bumpers off ect? as you have to undo the arch bolts to take the bumper off
i dont really want to get the grinder!!!!!

u only really need to take off the top bolts on the arches there SHOULD be enough clearance infront and behind the wheels without needing to debolt.

If you're going 60mm down I'd get 45 profile tyres as well, otherwise you might have problems.
I had 7x16 et 40 and they needed a bit of work, but it wasn't major.

Trim of the plastic arches, bash down the return lip on the rear arches and remove the bolts.
