   I currently have 50mm Eibach shocks and springs with 16" wheels with 195/40/16 tyres. My wheels have seen better days and want to change. Would my car appear lower on 15" wheels instead. I ideally wanted it to tuck just under the arch but hopefully without changing the shocks and springs but if I have to then so be it.

   yes with 15' it will be lower to the ground with less ground clearance between the road and the car. the wheels wont be tucked into the arch as much as with 16s i think.

   15" is the best size
