My 18's are ET42, I had it lowered 60mm and it was fine after a de-bolting session followed with banging the rear arches out a bit and trimming some plastic away from the plastic arches... You shouldn't have too much trouble with 15's, but you will at least have to de-bolt the rear arches otherwise they will rub a little.

Cool, it's just a case to trial and error... Some people find they have loads of room in one arch and bugger all in the other, and other people say that thier wheels fit fine
