you need to shave the caliper where the wheel hits or get a set of small spacers for the fronts

tire width isnt a factor....the wheel spokes are hitting the caliper (happens with ex/si+ size calipers)

Get wheel spacers instead of grinding the caliper. Alot easier and not as ummmmm..... permanent.

oh come on...

just grab your dremel (if you don't have one you really should), and grind a little off that caliper. It won't hurt the caliper and you won't have to worry about running spacers.
