In a word yes (as long as you have standard brakes, some 15's won't fit over 4 pot brembo calipers), 15's are generally preferred as they're lighter, tyres are cheaper and have a better selection too.
There are obviously other tyres out there as well as r888's, and people will say that x y or z are best, but a lot comes down to personal preference. Don't be afraid to buy 2nd hand tyres providing they're not excessively old, that's how I tried the likes of r888s, Dunlop Direzzas, Yoko A048 (again theres not much wrong AD08's or nankang ns2r's but they won't quite have the same 'bite' of a full semi slick) etc etc until I found some that suited my driving style.
