I've got 17s on mine. Only minimal mods needed to arches to lower it 30-40mm. Just trimmed off excess thread on the bolts that hold the plastic arches on.
I'm planning on going down to 60mm soon but that will require a bit more arch work.
Stick to an offset of ET45-49 and you shouldn't have many problems

Get a tyre that has curved walls like the Toyos that I have on mine. I used to have some different tyres on that came with the wheels when I bought them and the walls of the tyre were quite square so it gave me alot less clearance.
