I'm not sure if shimming would help in this case. By shimming, do you mean putting washers between the caliper and spindle on the axial bolts to move the caliper closer to the center of the vehicle (and away from the wheel)? If so, it would take about .25-.5" in that direction. I'm not sure I have that much leeway (sp?) with brand new pads. That would accomplish basically the same thing as spacing out the wheel without the increased track width, so I won't rule it out.
