If you're using 13's or wide 12's you will have to cut the front of the arches to clear the wheels at full lock. It's been covered here lots of times, do a search and you'll find plenty of advise. As for painting, you should use a plasticiser, or just plastic primer, then apply the paint straight on, no need to prime unless they have been filled.
