Use a 5mm spacer with extended studs or if it's truly just barely barely touching get out the grinder and shave the calipers down a little bit.

see that was what i was thinking. Just enough where the wheel spins free. Im not to found of spacers. I mean its not even the thickness of a penny, and it should spin free.

remember calipers do have a little flex in them too, so shave more than barely.
