V is up to 149mph. You should never go "down" a rating on the basis of "I never do that speed" because the rating takes into account lateral forces induced by cornering.

You maybe able to change the 15's for 17's but only by reducing the tyre profile (in your case the 70) but need to be aware of hitting the bodywork.
