will I be able to put 18's with a offset of ET15 on my cc?? and will I still be able to lower it??

I know this is not the correct offset for 206 but wondered if it would still be ok??

Potentially you could fit wheels with an offset of 15, although it's not usually recommended to fit a wheel with an offset of 5-7mm different to the original (ET25mm for a 206). ET15 will mean the wheel sticks out an extra 10mm which may be an issue when it comes to lowering. If you lower it too much the tyres might not fit in the wheel arches. You could probably lower 30-35mm with these wheels but ask a garah first.
In all honesty it's best to fit 18" wheels with the correct offset. I've have successfully done this with my 206cc.
