OEM brake caliper in our car is so wide specially when it have a new pad, the caliper move all the way out and almost touch my aftermarket wheels.

I believe most are. Aftermarket calipers are fixed which makes wheel fitment easier.

Default ECSs templates are a joke
The alcon calipers are the thinnest I can think of.
