Narrative:
Captain overshot radial on arrival and started descent late for crossing restr. Wide turn reached approximately 6 mi (according to ATC) east of airway. Descent was completed by (within 300 ft) crossing restr, but ATC was questioning if we were going to be able to make that restr (we did).
