New shoes, one size bigger then previous pair & toe is rubbing front tire

I was ridding a pair of Mavic shoes and decided to switch as I felt the toe box was a little cramped and my toes hurt after long rides. I bought a new pair of 2011 Specialized comp road shoes that were one size bigger. Went from 45-46. Again I changed brands, so there are some differences there as well.

Long story short on my first ride out, I rubbed the toe of the shoe against the front tire. left a little mark on my shoe, was not happy about that, but now I am concerened that this could cause an issue and this could happen again. I would hate for this to happen while riding and cause me to wreck. Does anyone else have this issue.

I could move the cleat forward but that concerns me as I have had knee issues this year and moved the cleats back to fix the pain. I can probably move them up a little bit but I don't think that would be enough to give me enough clearance.

What should I do.
