Default Wheels not fit after caliper changed

I just got the Spoon 4 pot Caliper and rotors and a set of wheels 17x7.5+48 front, after I installed the caliper and try to put the wheels on. The wheel is not fit and the spoon caliper hit the spoke......think need 20mm spacer or hub.....

Any suggestion or experience?

You might be able to get away with just a 10mm spacer.

What type of wheels are you running? You should have gone with a lower offset wheel if you are going to use the Spoon caliper. I am running the Work Emotion CR +42 front with a 3mm spacer and the Spoon caliper and Project Mu rotor. You can run a 3mm or 5mm spacer with this wheel. It also depends on the curvature of the wheel. This is a picture of my old Spoon wheel setup. They were a +35 front..
