I had a similar problem a while ago and there were a few fixes I thought of. Some VERY dodgy, others not so bad:
grind/bash the end of the lower control arm in. Dodgy and no good in your case.
Fit offset RCAs, again no good in your case cos the ball joint would sit above these anyway.
Possibly space the caliper, rotor and wheel out from the strut 1-2mm. This is most likely illegal, and I am not too sure about the effects, but if you only need a bee's dick of extra room it may work. Also depends how the rotor and wheel attach to the hub.
Use a different offset rotor so it sits a few mm outboard, then modify the caliper or mount so it moves outboard the same amount.
Or rethink your entire brake setup.
May give you some options, but as I said be careful whatever you do, you don't want brakes or wheels falling off.
