I'll look for pics but I just put my winters on.

My summer rims are 15x6.5 and +35 offset running 185/60 r15

I have 10mm spacers in the rear. The fit is very flush with no rubbing even when hitting the bump stops on rough Hamilton roads.

Its the exact looks and function I wanted and couldn't be happier.

Don't overthink the half inch. 1.5 or 2 inch. Just do it.

Been on a 2" drop since 2014 and on 16x7" 40 offset wheels. Tires 205/45R16.....

I could still lower .5" to 1" more.

Your 1.5" drop is very conservative. Go................Just Do It!!!

I will get to researching one know.I will put it on same time as I do the springs.

I am not expecting great handling or anything outstanding but as long as the wheels dont look silly on the car I will be happy for know.

Also once u get ur springs I would recommend u spare them with under body rust proof stuff cos are winters are going to kill them fast do to the progressive spring setup....i used rock guard on mine before installing.

Cutting bumps stops does make a difference in how it works. You gone go lower so you want suspension travel not ride on the bump stops lol
