Waggy 44 brake problem, please help

I have put together a waggy 44 for my 87 XJ. I changed the bolt pattern to 5x5.5 using rotors from a 78 Ford F150 including all of the bearings and seals for the Ford hubs and GM small bearing spindles. I bought the calipers and pads today that matched the Waggy which are GM calipers. This is when I realized I had a problem. The rotors appear to be about 3/8" too far in and interfere with the inboard pad. I can't get the pad to clear the backing plate. Please tell me what I did wrong? I tried to post pics, but I could not get them to work.
