Will 15" wheels fit around the TII brakes?

Was recently offered a free set of wheels at the last autocross. Been looking for a set to put some sticky rubber on. They were used on an NA FC but wasnt sure if the brakes were bigger on TIIs. Just want to make sure they will fit before I go spend $200 on a set of Kumhos.

15" NA wheels will fit on a TII with stock brakes. The onlyt differences in the brakes are (front) different calipers, and (rear) vented rotors with slightly wiger calipers to clear the wider rotors. I beleive the rotors on the rear are the same diameter (if they are different they're within about 0.1"-0.2" anyway). Many of the up market NA's had those brakes with 15" wheels.

My stock 15" wheels fit over my stock Turbo brakes just fine.
