Its defo gonna be a tight fit and don't think arch rolling will be enough.

I would find a good Bodyshop to do some work on those arches

spoke to arch enemy and they wont do anything with the rear arches but the front they will only roll them which isn't good enough, does ayone know a really good body shop that will widen the arches properly for me

Surely you cannot roll the front arches anyway as they are carbon / plastic composite and not the usual metal arches?

with putting 20" wheels on the car will there be any problems like the speedo not telling me the right speed or anything?

There shouldn't be as you'll drop from 35 profile to 30 so you should be good, just avoid them potholes🙂
