6M wheels vs AT

Why is it that the Tire Rack and Discount Tires both ask if the TL is a 6sp or an AT. The AT always shows 6 times the number of wheels as the 6M. Is there a different offset or anything or will any wheel that fits the AT fit the 6M?

6M has brembo calipers versus the auto one that doesnt....not all the wheels can clear the bremo brakes and thus the limited selection 4 the 5spd

I thought it might have something to do with the Brembo, I just never thought of the thickness as being the problems. Man, slim pickin's on 18's for the 6M...anyone know the best website for rims?
