Not sure if you will even need to make the arches wider with that size wheel you ordered, did you research the right fitment for your car before ordering the wheels?
Those arent agressive wheels so hopefully you wont need to modify anything...
If you do end up need to widen it a little bit you can have the fenders rolledif you are just lightly rubbing and if you need more you can do a pull..
reasearch local shops that do fender rolling or someone who lives you who has experience with it.. there are plenty of DIY on you tube on how to roll your fenders.
you can also rent a fender roller on ebay its $60 bucks and do it yourself if you like to do your own work.

had gotten the wheels on a trade. still waiting for fedex to drop them off. reason why im posting here is the fact that many teg owners only deal with 15s and 16s and if there a low offset they put way to much camber with skinny tires which makes there cars look kinda ghetto to me. alot of them told me that i will need to roll and pull. im not worried about the front fenders since those are easy. the problem im thinking is the rears and the part of the doors since its on the arch while still maintaining the oem lines.
im trying to get the most tire on the ground with a flush fit. i guess ill do a mockup when the wheels come in.
thanks on the help and advice. happy newyear

From the looks of those pics, you should be able to get away with a 205 or 215/40 all the way around with barely any camber and rolled fenders.
