Would have thought someone would have known this.
What size tyres are you planning on running?
It might be worth just chopping the arches out if you don't want huge tyres as it keeps the centre of gravity lower.

What year? you need to decide what size tyres you want and then lift it to suit.

Anything over 3" will require longer brake hoses.
I would not reccomend a bodylift unless totally necessary as you will not gain any ground clearance.
Realistically what tyre size would you like to run? 215 75 R15 can be run as standard I believe but spacers may be needed.

I've got a 53 plate and it's had spring spacers and shock extenders and I've got a set of 31 10.5 r15 but they don't fit and got 32 mm wheel spacers on so wots best get smaller tyres or body lift and cut arches

Lifting the body will allow you to fit they tyres in easier, and you will still need some trimming. Without the body lift you will need to do a lot more cutting.
What tyres?
I would seriously consider castor correction also.
