could be as the wheels look like they are sticking out so when you lower it the arches might be sitting on top of the tyres, best to fit them and find out really

if your offset is ET45, you will be completely and utterly fine, my first car was down 60mm on 16's (ET45) with no problem and zero arch work.

nope, but keep in mind once you lower the car the camber will change slighty, making them go in a little further at the top, so will clear arche's with ease.

i can tell u now if ur offset is ET38-49 you will have zero problems, my last corsa was 75mm, 15's (ET38) and i have done no arch work, first corsa 16's (ET45) 60mm and no arch work.
