Default does anyone make aftermarket calipers?

I am looking to see if anyone offers any type of conversion caliper for running more backspace on a 15 inch rim. I guess what I am looking for is a thinner caliper with the bolt relocated to the side. I have ground my curent calipers and I run a 15x8 rim but I would like to run a 15x10 with 5.5 inches of back spacing, and Im am not 100% sure it will clear the bolt.

Have you looked into milling down the bolt head and the block that's connected to the brake line? That might work. Also it looks like there's another place you could drill and tap for the brake line. Next to the bleeder screw it looks like there's a flat you could drill and tap.
