Don't cut them, undo the retaining strap and pull the bottom of the arch outwards untill it clears the wheel, it will help stop splatter up the side of your car and looks way better than a butchered wheelarch.

If you decide to cut use a jigsaw or recip saw and follow the swage line on the arch taking 1" off .
I have done this on boats etc with no probs.
