Disc Brake Gets Caught In Wheel

Is it a new wheel build?? as looking at the pic your rim is wide and the spokes are very offset. eg. normal spokes run in line with each other on both side yours are space over to the edge of the rim.. does that make sence?

Barely, if the spokes are bowed then the wheel will flap about when you ride.

I'd suggest adding a washer under each disc rotor bolt between the rotor and the hub, a washer on the end of the axle then space the caliper until it's lined up., this will effectively move the hub and wheel away from the rotor/caliper.

Yeah its down to the wheel design, probably a combination of offset rim drilling and small gap between hub flange and disc mount. The only option is to space out the rotor, then add a spacer onto the end of the axle. Obviously this is not ideal, and will only gain you 1 or 2 mm extra clearance

Edit: Muel beat me to it :P

whats the offset for the spokes on that rim, if you only had a 1mm offset like a normal try-all rim or something like that your spoke would go more into the centre of the rim and caliper would'nt be near the spokes? should be alright with any rim though to be honest

2 options - fit a bigger disk so the caliper is further away or lace the disk side of the hub with all the spoke heads to the outside of the flange. This is nasty looking and the spokes will be tight where they cross near the hub, but it can be done. Otherwise fit a different rim.
