You would need to machine custom stub axles that are shorter in length and machine up some new shorter hubs with the mounting flange set back the right amount.

The limitation as to how far you can move back is the clearance needed between the back of the disc rotor and the top ball joint. You can only go so far back before your disc hits the ball joint. Then you also need to leave sufficient clearance between the face of the disc and the wheel mounting flange for clearance to get the caliper in there.

It'd take some careful measuring and machining but I reckon you might get 25mm extra out of it.

Cheers
