I think I'd try one of these or something similar
<http://cgi.ebay.com/55mm-Wide-Angle-Metal-Lens-Hood-for-All-55mm-Camera_W0QQitemZ140269505746QQihZ004QQcategoryZ3323QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247#ebayphotohosting>
There are also lots of collapsible rubber "wide angle" hoods available 
if you prefer.  I think you'll find that generic "wide angle" really 
refers to a coverage angle for a 28mm lens... as does this much more 
expensive B+W "wide angle" hood from B&H

If you read the "features" panel you'll see a spec of 70 degrees for 
28mm.  The spec on the 28-48 says maximum angle of view of 75 degrees. 
Close enough without impinging.
