The issue of the edge of the caliper hitting aftermarket wheels is common on the 1200 disk brake system. I have ground down the edge of the caliper for wheel clearance many times in the past.
Keep in mind if you are going to grind down the caliper for clearance you should fit new brake pads before grinding for clearance as the brake pad thickness directly influences the position of the cross plate.
Had one case where things were great. The car had several thousand miles on the new wheel tire package. Then I replaced the brake pads with some PBR semi metalic pads as an upgrade. Bolted the wheels back on and the car would not move...
