No 15" rims will not fit. The rotor diameter for the brembos is 12.4". The brembo caliper stands more than 1.25" further out from the rotor. I don't think you will even find a 16" rim that fits because of the clearance, and possible spoke interference. Only certain 17" rims fit with the proper offset and spoke design so that the caliper doesn't collide with the spokes. 17s are about as small as you can go on this car. I think even a 16" rim looks a little too small on these cars. I believe there is a sedan running the run-of-the-mill stock brakes and 15" wheels and it looks awful in my opinion. I'd stick to 17's or 18's.
