You have two choices - do a little grinding with a die grinder on the calipers, or have a good machine shop cut a clearance groove in the back of the rim on a lathe. You want to check the thickness of the rim in that area before doing any machining.

I have had to rework wheels and calipers in this manner several times (on different cars) over the years.

regards,

Jeff
