yes. z32 rotor diameter is 280mm (approx 11")
plus the size of the caliper clamped on (so say add 1" or so)
not only will 15s fit, but 14s will fit.
however!!!
not just any 14/15" will fit, it depends on the inner design of the wheel
and whether it provides the clearance.
as for width and offset, that does not matter in regards to brake clearance,
that only matters in regards to suspension clearance and poke.

this is coming from the datsun truck (6 lug) side of things.
one way to run disc brakes on a datsun truck is to use z32 (26mm) calipers and
honda passport/isuzu rodeo rotors. the rotors are also 280mm in diamater.
here is that brake set up fitting in a 14" wheel

and here is them NOT fitting in a different 14" wheel

because, like i said, it depends on the wheel design.
also, the inner wheel face's design will depend whether or not you have enough clearance to clear the caliper itself OR if you need a spacer.

use this site Custom rims, wheel tire packages for your ride - RIMSnTIRES.com (http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp)
for some of your calculations
for instance, a 15x10 -38 has backspacing of 4", which is plenty (less than stock)
to clear suspension.
however, itll have a front spacing of 7", so i kinda feel youre gonna have some poke for
sure, especially in the front
