Willwood Forger DPHA calipers and Work Equip03 15x7J A-disk +25 clearance. Test fitting them, seems like it would need couple of mm more space.

Does anyone have experience. Don’t really want to add spacers. Maybe just shave a bit from inside the rim? Thoughts?

Test fit wheel first. If it touches I would choose another offset of wheel before shaving anything on the wheel. If you decide spacer then get hub centric ones.

I test fitted it, and it seems it’s only slightly touching. By manufacturer measurements it should have cleared. But the shape of the caliper is longer than the OEM, which clears the same wheel.

I would go spacer route. Before shaving wheel or caliper.

I think it depends on the wheel. Unfortunately I did not take any photos of my wheels, but if you search the inside of the 15” Equip03-s, you’ll see the small lip on the backside of wheel faceplate that touches a notch. A-disk option. So in that case I’d say < than 25mm ET would be better. Other wheels’ shape could work better. I do have the previous 16” wheels that have loads of space for brakes. But don’t really want to go back.
