No they will not, unless of course you are handy with a grinder. The earlier Fj80's etc 1990-92 will fit 15's no problem.

Any reason for wanting to fit 15's?

if you got big offset rims, they will fit the front with no mods, but on the back you will have to grind the calipers just a little.

You can use/fit the brakes from the earlier 80's, only a bolt on job. then you will be able to run 15'' rims on the rear.
I hit this problem when i tried to use my rims from my old 80 series, they scraped on the rear calipers.

I know guys that have ground a small amount off their calipers to fit 15" rims on their 80s'. I'm unsure of the year models though.

So far the only safe and legal option here is fitting the early model rear calipers and back plates.

Grinding calipers is a big no no, consider what you are fiddling with!
Cheers,
