I've got 14 x 7 ET 45 on mine and it's lowered 60mm and there's not a lot of room left underneath to play with when it's got a load in it. I use mine as my daily so still need some practicality!

15 x 7's would be ok, but it depends on how much you lower it, and someone on here has 16's on his but it's not lowered.
