Default Z06 brake help

I have a 06 coupe that with twin turbos. I just bought a set of 08 z06 brakes. I put them on but the front wheels are hitting the calipers. The wheels are z06 nockoffs and they are barely touching. Washers, grind on the rims what is the best way to fix this??????? HELP!!!!!!

Spacers.

If you live near Milwaukee, I have a pair you can use until yours arrive.
