To lower 60mm your really gonna have to get a set of FRST arches and skirts. Then you'll have to cut the metal away right up to where the arch meets the wing. You'll also have to cut away the top mounting screws off the front and rear bumper but you'll see that when you get the wheels on.

I've got 5mm spacers on the front on my car but I've got coilovers, it does rub on full-lock but the way I see it, once you hit full lock move the steering wheel an inch and you'll be fine.

I get a bit of scubbing with a mate in the front and me girlfriend in the back but thats only when driving hard.

Your best off getting your car lowered, buying the wheels and skirts and arches then doing it all at once cos it all depends on tyres and offsets when sorting out 17's.
