definately worth lowering.

with the extra inch you will lose alot of acceleration but will gain ever so slightly in top end speed. Its upto you wot u go for. Dont think will need much work to get a set of 15s on. If u need any arch work it will just be bending the lip of the rear arch.

As for costs it varies from place to place. there is a place i know of in bootle.. liverpool that would probably do the arch work for u at a decent price if any is required

I see I am not only one with this problem. How ever I have decide to go for 15". Probably because roads here in Croatia are not too good. Dont want to put low profile tiers. If I was living in UK story would be diferent :-D...
