Some 15s will clear and some won't, G60 steels clear, just, with a 5mm spacer but it is tight, most 16s should be ok though.

ive got 256 mm wilwood dynalites and have 15" sebring g60 alloys and have no clearance on the inside of the caliper, 3mm spacers would help push the wheel out but i may have arch problems
i think it depends on the style of wheel you choose, a flatter face wheel may have more room than a deep dish wheel
