    Are they factory wheels? If not you may need a spacer.

    or a wheel designed for disc brakes. Are they 14's or 15's. If 14's you just might need to switch to 15's for a little extra room.:)

    are they rubbing on top of the callipers or on the front?
    if on the front a spacer will solve it.
