You were told correctly. Heck, even my 17" H2 rims barely miss the calipers...

Yes, with ALOT of grinding on the calipers. However I don't recomend this on a new truck. I bought a AAM of ebay awhile back to go under my previous 1/2 ton Ram trail rig, I ended up dropping the project and sold the axle to one of my buds and he ended up using it for the purpose I had intended. He is running 16.5 aluminium wheels and they barely fit, he said that a decent amount had to ground off. With steel wheels you still have to grind, just not quite as much as aluminum.
