Just to make things blurrier... ;-)

Its usually not the wheels which provide interference issues. Its the tires.

A particular size of wheel might fit just fine without rubbing a tire, but change tires and you might have problems.

For example: I have been running Hoosier 265/35ZR-19 R7 slicks on my M4 track car. I just mounted a set of Toyo Proxes 265/35ZR-19 R888R slicks on an identical set of wheels (Apex Arc-8 19x10 ET 25). (Same exact wheels, same tire size). I know the 19x10 ET25 wheels will fit my M4 just fine. I also know the 265/35-19 Hoosiers will fit just fine when mounted on those wheels. However, I can't be sure the Toyo Proxes, of the exact same size, will fit until I get the car up on the lift and mount them! (Even though both tires are EXACTLY the same size, the Proxes have a 1/2 inch wider section width than the R7's)

IOW: Even though the wheels are exactly the same (mfr, model, size, dimension), you still need to take into account the actual dimensions of your intended tires (not just the "size")...
