Thinking of lowering 35/40mm with standard rims...

As above, my car is completely standard apart from a few cosmetic mods etc.

Was thinking over lowering it as it looks a little high at the back compared with the front.

I have OEM Avus II 15" wheels.

Should look ok, 16"s would be better however.

montreal II's look nice lowered on for standard wheels and you can pick them up cheap for a set

^^^I'll have a set of these coming up for sale in the next couple of weeks if anyone's interested. 3 in good condition and 1 has a few corrosion blobs come up on it but nothing that couldn't be sorted with refurb.
Full ad with pics will follow when I get my new wheels fitted....

I do like the look of it with the montreals on but.. What about 15" rims.. Will they look weird?

Also, would it reduce roll etc?

nah 15" would still look good lowerd i think body roll is greatly reduced as is understeer at least thats what i have found with my coilovers.

Cool, but I'm thinking of just dropping it on springs with stock dampers..
