15" wheel on 5.5g

Looking to figure out whether i got a shot of getting 15" for the track setup on my 4th gen using 5.5gen calipers and rotor. I was at the track this weekend and my friends 2011 altima sr v6 manual sporting the same size 296mm rotor as 5.5 gen test fitted a wheel 15x8 0 offset and it JUST fit but control arm got in the way a tiny bit. The wheels i'm looking at are 15x8 with a more forgiving +20 offset so no control arm issue.

I put 6th gen brakes onto the 4th so i already drilled out the knuckle for the larger through bolts. I know without a lot of shaving the 6th gen brakes (320mm rotor) will not sport a 15 inch wheel but the 5.5gen can likely do it and retain the same bolts with that brake setup. Any information and links would help, i looked in the 5th gen wheel setup thread but i didn't find 15 inch on 5.5 unless i'm stupid. Please, i need the spoon. i don't mind a bit of shaving.

When I put a set of Millenia's (11lb 15x6) on a 5.5gen we had to grind the caliper.
