Default Can someone measure a 15" AR TT for me?

Hi all, I need the inside measurement across the backside of the rim for mounting of 15" X 7" American Racing Torque Thrust rims.
I'm trying to verify how much clearance is available to clear different rotors/calipers.
If the TT is a 15" rim, what is the measurement across the inside of the rim = 13", 14"?
I don't have my rims yet and hate to order a set until i know if they'll clear.
If the rim steps towards the mounting center please mention this, ie = 14" span at back edge, then 2" in- steps to 13", etc. and what the overall backspacing of the rim is.
Thanks, Jon

Ok, I don't see the normal link at the bottom right to edit.
Wanted to add that if the TT's bow inward or protrude into the backspacing any, please measure how far past the mounting surface it sticks.
Thanks, Jon

The backspacing will be 3.75 inch.
What is it you are trying to clear?

Stock rotors (11.5") and calipers/brackets from an '05-'08 V6 mustang front. Hoping they'll clear 15" wheels. Had a reply on another forum that the TT has 14 1/8" - 14 1/2" width on backside, hopefully that'll do it.
