Short, low profile rim brake pads?

[Lewis Moon]

Does anyone make a short, low profile rim brake pad, kinda like the Kool Stop thinline, only about 1.5 cm shorter?

Just curious - what's the goal?

I know some people just cut Thinline pads shorter for more clearance to remove the front wheel/tire from the fork.

When you cut them off, is there any danger of delamination?
