Then you are kind of stuck with at least a 17" wheel, to put it bluntly.

Wondering if I can machine a set of spindles for the DSE setup and have the upper ball joint under the control arm instead of the spindle coming over the top of the control arm. I don't see where geometry would be effected as long as the control arms stay the same.

In this example, geometry has nothing to do with the position of the control arm and everything to do with the position of the ball joint. Move the ball joint, geometry is out the window, move the tie rod end, geometry is out the window.

All of that aside. A 15" wheel, with the spectacular array of all season tires that you have to choose from, mounted on a DSE subframe is the suspension equivalent of giving your paycheck to a stripper every Friday night because you think she loves you. It seems like a good idea and you will feel good about doing it but in the end you will realize you wasted a lot of effort and money.

Good analogy looks like i"ll have to find my favorite 18, 19 inch wheel combo.
