i think to set any alloy off you need to be slamed! you won't be able to go much lower than 30mm if you go for the 17's. its all about personal taste mate. i don't know what you like!

yup avoid that gap between the arch and tyre.
Alloys look nice and smart

bought the polished 15''mirror mims. got my 30mm springs, will 30mm lowering take that gap away?

30mm will reduce the gap but there will still be quite a gap

on 15s, i would recommend -50mm to -60mm, they will sit nicely with the 7" wide wheels.
