1" lower than standard unless you modify other things (have to shorten an arm I think)

The wheel size shouldnt be a problem i run 15x6.5 IIRC.

I believe your Cetus are 5.5 x 15" Adam, my Vesas are 6 x 15", which is interesting. The Vesas and Taurus are both 6 x 15", the widest 400 alloys, as I noticed how close my front tyres are to the GLT lip, but clearance seems to be ok, having had any problems yet, even with loads, spirited driving etc. But I was a tad concerned to start with!

Yeah I noticed that too that your old alloys were 6" also, but 14's instead of 15's, and forgot to post that, all a bit odd really!

Clearance is not so much the problem. The torque arm needs shortening to get more than a 1" spacer in. Just a case of cut sleeve and weld.

It was to give clearance for the calipers on vented setups on the 400, or so I've heard

Ah right, I see Carl, what we were also saying was that it seems odd that most of the 400 alloys are 5.5 x 15" or 5.5 x 14", yet then two are 6 x 15 and one set of 14" are 6" also.
