Yeah we need more info to help you out. What brakes are you running, and can you provide any pics with the wheel mounted? with a wheel that large/wide/low offset I would assume you would have plenty of clearance, but each wheel is different, so pics would be a huge help.
Thanks,

How close are you to bolting up? You can attempt to shave the front face of the caliper, but its generally not recommend. Too much and you will expose the internal fluid passages, and be left with a paper weight.

i wouldnt suggest shaving them. If i was in your situation i would have 3 choices.
Roll/shave/pull fenders to fit the wheel with a spacer
Get new wheels that clear the brakes
or
Put the stock calipers back on.
Depending on where you got the wheels, how long ago and what condition they are in you may be able to return them to the place of purchase or sell them on here.
I still dont understand why you want 10.5" wheels on the front to be honest. Seems like a bit of an overkill.
