No way.
Why do this? Having a car so low can only be a negative thing.

I paid £80 for a local bodyshop to roll my rear arches.

Why?
so you can run wider wheel/tyre combo, lower the car more without it catching the arches.
and if your feeling brave you can massively flair the arches to run some crazy offset rims
ps the car in the vid is an s15, so dont worry yourselves, its not an impreza!
like this ET12 10.5 x 18 on the front, ET-10 13 x 18 rear
(yes, MINUS 10)

Gives whole new meaning to term wide arches = wide boy . Just kidding
everyone has their own taste otherwise world would be dull!
But those wheels look far too big for that car IMO , looks comedy . Again though IMHO
