fronts are not modded at all, scrubbed a bit on the plastic inner arch on full lock but found out the arch was loose, re-fitted and it was fine,

the rears have been debolted and the plastic and metal arche both trimmed, still rubs a small amount though.

loads of people with 17's on but if you want it lower than 40mm
then get prepared for some rubbing
mate of mine has 18's on and they constantly rub
18's


17's 40mm


17's on coil overs and loads of arch work


17's 60mm / 80mm rear


you need to do stuff like this to the rear arches
or unbolt them and stick them on instead
