Depends on the Calipers your wanting to use, Vaux calipers with 288mm discs fit under 15's, not sure on the 308mm tho. If your gonna be using 4 pots or summet then you might get away with 300mm / 320mm ???
Also depends on the wheels, as to how much clearance there is behind the spokes.

Which kit were you planning on buying ?
Rota's are pretty decent wheels, more performance based yeah ? so would have thought they'd have a bit of clearance for the calipers. The brake kit manufacturer useually syas what minimum wheel size is required for certain sized kits.
