I think you could lower the car from 1.5 to 2" without adversely affecting tire wear and general handling.

This is my estimate of the amount of lowering which would be encountered with a heavily laden car. Of course if you decide to load it down with a heavy load that would take the tires out of their comfort zone I imagine.

This is just really an educated guess. If you actually go ahead and do the lowering and have problems of course you are on your own.
