The only dofference would be in rolling circumference. I.E. If you change your wheel-tire combo to have a smaller circumference it will have better acceleration and less top speed. It will also throw your speedo out of whack.
It's much like gear ratios, changing the circumference changes the relationship between engine revs and road speed. If you follow...
Chances are, when they put 15's on they would have fit a thinner tire so the circumference is the same.
In reality, it's not worth considering for performance benifits. Gains would be negligible and your speedo would be inaccurate.
