Depends which 15s.
Some wheels spokes will catch.

From my experience, also depends on the callipers.
Vectra V6 callipers need some 'adjusting' to fit, where as Cavalier and Calibra callipers are fine.
They fit behind my Cesaro's no problem, and they seem to be what you have so I think the Cavalier ones would be fine.
I fitted Vectra ones, so had to grind a bit off

Fit braided lines and get the system pressure bled if you do fit v6 brakes as you may not like the extra pedal travel.

I run v6 brakes on std hoses with no issues whatsoever. Pedal travel is no worse than 2.0l brakes!
