Your alloys probably have a very shallow offset (high ET in mm) i.e. the wheels' mating hubs are close/flat to the spokes. This will bring the wheels well within under the arches, causing the back of the spokes to foul the calipers.

The ET number should be stamped on the wheel somewhere... I expect it'll be in excess of circa ET55+...

The offset wasnt the problem, the caliper was touching the inside of the rim...Looks like a wheel change Beez.
