15" rims on a 4.8

I am very keen to try & make a plan to fit 15" rims on my 4.8
The usual roadblock with this is that the 4.8 caliper is bigger & clearance is a problem.
Does anybody know what size spacers would need to be fitted to get the 4.8 calipers to clear 15" rims? Or if infact this is possible?
Opinions welcome...

The next question is... are 35" tyres available on a 15" rim??

I think that literally the whole rim would need to step away from the hub till the caliper doesn't catch the rim. Are the 4.8's not fitted with 17" due to 16" still catching ?

Mine came with 17" grx mags originally.
I changed to 16" pick up steelies with no hassles.
