Default Disk brake question

Got a chance to pick up a brand new disk brake kit, including spindles, rotors, callipers, upper and lower control arms etc., for a very low price. But it comes with 13" rotors and I want to keep my 15" wheels. Can I just use my rotors and rest of the new parts or not?
Thanks

Probably not, most kits as described are for 17 inch wheels.
You have to consider the caliper height for wheel clearance.
It would be to your advantage to get manf name and kit number and research the suggested wheel size.

I'm thinking 11 inch rotor max for your 15 inch wheels--I'm in the same boat--check the answeres to my question here in another post--Thats the way i'll be going--
