    it should be fine m8 if you dont go fast round corners. If it does rub it will be the front.

    vaughan are you 15 now and are when does your summer holidays start.

    My front wings are rolled, and the rear arches slightly grinded back, to stop 195/45/15 tyres rubbing, when 60mm.

    This place is more & more like an after schools activity club every day!

    IMO GM 15" alloys wont rub on a -60mm drop. The seam sealer/underseal in the rear arches is very thick, this can cause the scrubbing. Just carve it out with a knife & primer any bare metal.
