Im one of them people mate!
What car you got? Depending on what car you've got i dont think you're gonna have too much of a problem getting these babies on. Ive got them on my SI with no arch mods at all. It only ever rubs slightly when ive got a car full and deep bumps in the road. Apart from that, its fine. You'd probably need some arch mods if ya wanna lower it a bit though.

I've got 7x16" wheels with 195/45/R16 tyres on my mk.3.5. It's lowered 60mm and never rubs. I had to trim back the arches and bumpers tho'.
