My EM front wheel dimension.

I have 2" from faceplate to outside edge of front fender.
I need 6.5" from center of hub to clear caliper.
I am using 245/50/16 tires and want to go to 15" so I can use Goodyear Raised White letter Tires.

I was told by American Racing three times they need 3.5" and the way there wheels taper in in the back they would not fit over calipers.

I hope they are wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wounder if anyone has a damaged wheel or an extra AR 427 rim I could buy to try?
I just checked American Racing 427 Wheel. Minimum backspace available is 3.5". this means the tire would stick out past my fender 1.5 inches. Is this correct?
