How bad is it catching? Have you thought about trimming a bit off the caliper?

If it were me and trimming the caliper wasn't an option I would make some test spacers, a bit of old hardboard or washers behind the wheel on the bolts ?. Keep adding these spacers and once it no longer catches measure the thickness of these test spacers and you have your answer. Obviously don't drive it like that :)
