Sounds like the wrong wheel offset for 4pot calipers. Could try some spacers but again this may effect handling. Usual ET45-53 for 17's.

Put a 3mm shim on the fronts, it won't effect the handling, but it will help clear the caliper!!

If you must use shims (spacers) ensure you lengthen the stud accordingly.
