Wheel Issues

I'm looking into getting my first VW Lupo 1.4

I been looking around and wheels & found a pair that I think will look amazing (shown in picture), They are 15" 8J 4x100, will I need to roll the arches to allow for these wheels? also looking to fit lowering springs, 60mm on the front and 40mm on the rear as they come in that set, are they easy to fit or am I better off going to a garage?

Springs are fairly easy to swap, but for the front you'll need a set of spring compressors and a deal reach 21mm ring spanner; or spark plug socket is what I used with a spanner on the flats. Rears are a piece of piss.

..a small garage will likely charge you £100

Pretty sure you'll need to roll the arches at that height not only for clearance, but (offset depending) these wheels will more than likely poke out of the arch (technically illegal if not covered).
