Revenge is like a ghost. It takes over every man it touches. It's thirst cannot be quenched, until the last man standing has fallen. The world's men of action will look and wonder...how it came to this. You may be able to destroy me, but the beast will eventually come for you

If you don't keep the same rolling radius your speedo won't show an accurate speed. Not sure if the arch gap will be smaller but the car as a whole will be lower I would have thought?

If you want to lower the car do it properly....

you have those tyre/wheel calculators online that will calculate the size if your wheels if you fit another size tyre or wheels.
i used one of those for my winter wheels,if i would have used the wrong tyre size it wouldnt fit.
turned out the 205/40-17 wheels are the same as the 195/55-15
