it will be a bit bumpy due to the lower profile tyres compared to the 15"

when i test drove the CC SE while i had a 206 with 14" wheels i couldn't believe the difference - never put me off tho

is your car lowered coz mines is hell with 16" and lowered

no standard hight was thinking about lowering would the suspension help it ?

thanks

don't think it would - mines being lowered looks good and i wouldn't change but if anything it would make it worse i think.

possibly trying putting more air in the tyres to smooth the ride abit.

sounds like someone with experience of 17" wheels

I think the 17's I had came filled with 30psi but I've added 35psi to the front wheels and it seems to make a difference in that it doesn't seem as bumpy as before.
