A buddy of mine has some spare 215/70R15 98S Winter Tires, does anyone know if these will fit?

Not on the stock rims, and not without significant rubbing.
Stock tires on the FR-S are 215/45R17. You'd likely have to try to at least find a 15" rim with the 5X100 bolt pattern. Good Luck. |

I'm no expert, I'm just telling you the numbers. And I can't tell crap from that picture. Are you trolling or something?

Will a 15" wheel even clear the stock brakes?

Some 15 inch wheels might fit. Like the Unique branded wheels DTC and TireRack sell.
 the correct dimension of tire I would recomend would be a shown below. OEM 215/45-17 205/60-15 Snow Results Totals are in inches Tire 1 Tire 2 Difference Sidewall Height: 3.81 4.84 1.03 Section Width: 8.46 8.07 .39 Overall Diameter: 24.62 24.69 .07 Circumference: 77.34 77.55 .21 Revs per mile: 819.24 817.02 .22 OEM speed @ 65 MPH Snow tire 65.18 I would recommend staying within 5% to maintian VSC and traction control operability
