Well it sounds to me that you have an offset issue. Offset is a measurement that describes the distance of the hub mounting point from the center-line of the wheel. Long story short....you need a different wheel with an acceptable offset, spacers, or a grinder to grind down the caliper.

Hope that helps...btw more info would help people to better answer the question.
