15" Wheels on R53?

I am looking to get a new set of wheels for my lowered r53 the wheels i was looking at are 15" which would replace the factory 17" wheels. Any one else lowered with that small of a wheel have any problems? Any help or thoughts are greatly appreciated.

I'm curious what size your wheels are? They look even smaller than 15's in that photo.
