Tire sizes

Hey guys,
I came across an exceptional deal on winter tires on a local site, and didn't hesitate to grab the tires after comparing the tire sizes on the tire calculator. Unfortunately, I didnt take into consideration that the previous owner installed the BBK. I'm pretty sure they're the 300 calipers as they say Nissan on them.
Does anyone know if 15" wheels will fit with the BBK? The stock 16's are on now, and are working fine. I just dont know if I have enough clearance for the smaller rims. I would like to know peoples experiences before I go out and buy stamped wheels as well.
Thanks guys!

Zeddy,
You might be better helped if you post this question in the wheel and tires section.

You're probably right, but I figured it had more to do with the BBK than with the tire sizes.
I'll post it there as well.
Thanks

im pretty sure the 15s will not clear the brakes, the 16s must be a squeeze as is. i didnt even think it was possible to fit the stock 16s over the zx brakes

depends on the size of the rotor, and the STYLE of the wheel as well.
you can put Z32 calipers on w/o going to a larger rotor.

Depends, Z calipers with Z rotors will fit some 16's i.e ZX 16" stocks wheels(duh). Then z calipers with either cobra 13" rotors or maxima 12.6" rotors will require 17's or bigger with the right offset and wheel spoke design.
