you will be able to put people in the back, and lower it mate (though i would reccomend stiffer dampers for the rear if you lower it), you can always do some inner arch work, and it is a DIY job as long as your careful.

You'll have rubbing on the inner lip of the rear arch. With people in the back, or going over certain bumps. Reasonably easy to cut off or bend out of the way.

With added stiffer dampers you shouldn't get a problem.

The rear arch of the flat-arch models are relatively narrow so it's the 195mm wide alloys that tend to cause problems.
