I think HiSpec quote 15" rims as a minimum for their 285mm brake kits, as do most other manufacturers with similar size kits.
I have a 308mm kit on mine and run 16" wheels, they fit no problem, with lots of space.
I reckon you'll be ok !

mate i have just been through all this. basically its down to spke design and offset, try and get a 35mm or 37mm offset so the wheel will stick out more to clear calipers. mine was 35mm.

i had a stroke of luck, i was after 16's but couldnt find any at the time, as i only wanted some as track day wheels, i went into halfords and they had a clearence deal set of 15's with tyres for £125, popped them on and they clear with loads of room can nearly stick my finger down in between the 2.

heres a pic of them


there not wolfrace by the way, it was just the wheel centres they had.

Would you mind stating which brake kit/size you got under the !5 ?

Had to change my wheels after fitting the brembo's with 290mm disks. From a super lightweight watanabe rs8 spilt rim to a compomotive mo, both 15's. looking at the style of your racing hart wheels it may be tight. I've only got about 1mm clearance.
