Default Argh help!!

Right I've e had a wobbling on the front of the 4x4 since I bought it so I've just bought new EBC disc and new standard pads to go on. Someone had peeviously snapped the bleed nipple in the drivers caliper so I've had to order a new one.
So whilst I'm waiting for that to come tomorrow tonight I decided I'd build up the passenger side. Got everything back to gather put the RS7 back on and the spoke is touching the face of the caliper???
Ive taken the disc off and checked and it identical to the old one, I cannot work it out can anyone help?

Thanks
Graeme

The disc flange must be thinner.

They the right discs? 2wd 4wd?

I know RS7's run close but shouldn't touch.

Will they clear when the piston comes out and pulls the caliper in? should give an extra 5mm at least

I reckon that's the answer

Due to the pads being new and therefore thicker, the caliper is sitting further out towards the wheel. Hopefully once the pedal is pressed it will bring the caliper a bit closer in.
