The 15" wheels fitted to the models with optional rear differentials were exactly the same as the 14"s.
The light alloy design was the same and the regular wheel with hubcap were also the same design. Although, visually, you could easily tell the models at the dealer garage with 15"s because the tires looked bigger and the cars looked much taller.
I will asume the springs were also different for the cars fitted with 15" wheels. I have been told by the shop manager that each class could have up to 12 to 14 different types of springs (depending of country of origin, original and optional equipment fitted, and factory tires). Just one example: cars fitted with A/C have completely different springs from cars without A/C.
As most equipment is standard in the U.S., I will asumme spring variences are limited, unlike in the rest of the world.
