Lowered my car today and put an alloy on just to see how it fit (only one I have a tyre for) and someone said isn't that illegal cos it wider than the arches, is this right? Here's a pic or two
If the tread of the tyre is protruding out from the side profile of the arch, then yes it is illegal. That's why some people flare their arches, or run camber on their wheels. This way the tread is still within the arch.
As CorsaEdi has said, your pictures aren't particularly clear if this is the case or not. A head on photo would be better.

Ill get get a better picture tomorrow, would running stretch tyres be okay? They're 7.5j I think I was thinking about getting 175/55/15 tyres currently on 205/55/15
Yeah a bit of stretch should help, those tyres on at the moment are way too big. It's not just about how wide the wheels are, it'll be the offset of the wheels too.
