just thinking that it might look a bit odd as the prowler rear arches are really wide, even compared to the psg ones

well to pull it off it needs to be low on the arches, if it's to high it dont look good. My old corsa was lowered -40 on the front with non-wide and was not the best for speed humps etc etc
im just saying 18's + will look alot better but becareful

If you're going for prowler arches you need the right wheels in the wrong offset. Difficult, and it won't drive well.
