Mates nova had this problem, was just catching on the inner edge of the wheel. Filed down the part of the caliper that was fouling the wheel and it sorted it.

depend what speedlines you have if its an early set they should clear no problems if there a newer set of speedlines then the inside of the centre bor may have to be milled down
i have 2 sets on mine and wonderd why the caliper fowled on the inside of the wheel as they were only 1.4 brakes but that was the reason must be an early and late design

i had allesio 2 with v6 brakes
the brake pad rubbed on the centre of the wheels as they were bigger than the centre of the disc.
i took i tiny bit of the pad (the back closest to the centre not where the material is)
job done!!
