15" wheel clearance

right now i'm out clearancing my 3/4 ton d44 caliper/caliper mount for 15" wheels. my question is how much clearance is required? i'm using a 15" wheel with a 35 on it to test clearance. the 35 gives me a good bit of leverage to spin the wheel and it's gettin to where it's barely hittin at all. do i just keep goin 'til i can't feel it hit anymore? also, i had to take alot off of the caliper mount. does anybody make an aftermarket caliper mount made for 15" wheels? thanks

grind till it doesnt touch at all and no more.

No one makes an aftermarket mount, the stock one is fine after grinding usually...
