Overall diameter wise, don't go over 11.75 inch, 11 to be safe and stay with 15" wheel.
Depth wise, the actual wheel design matters as well. If the spokes don't come out enough, it will not clear.
One example would be SiR/GSR calipers with 14" wheels, they will clear 14" Honda steelies, but not 14" HX wheels, due to HX spoke design (not enough clearance), hence, you need to shave caliper in order to clear if you use HX wheels.
This issue can also be fixed by adding spacers.
