They've already said they'll work with the stock SVT wheels. You won't NEED to go any larger to make these work. Just incase you were waiting for larger wheels to get in on this.

What about stock non-SVT wheels?

Be more specific. If the test fitters know what you are working with, they might not have a problem test fitting that wheel, if they have it available. Big Jim is a Ford tech, so there might be a Contour/Mystique/Cougar/Focus with your wheel style, that he could throw on for fitment.

If you're serious, then NO! Your sig says 98.5 SVT, so I assumed 16" SVT wheels at a minimum. I don't even think 14" wheels can fit around the stock SVT brakes. Anyway, just buy the kit, and have them ready for when you order the bigger wheels.

He's gonna sit down with the operators and figure out what went wrong with the lasercutting from plans to part, and give me a call back in a couple of days.
Be patient.

Yes, today I picked up two prototype templates made of thick sheet aluminum to test fit against my original hardware mockup and my drawings.
Bad news is I found two errors on the template for the front, and one for the back. The one for the front plate is a hole spacing issue I need to do some simple calculations to figure out why it is off. Should be easy enough to fix.
The good news is that the other two errors are just small issues with the outline of the brackets and easy to tweak in the software drawing. The rear bracket holes are perfect.
I'll give him the corrections and then he'll redo them. I won't have another estimate till I talk to him again but we are very close now to a final working product.
