Front brake tire clearance issues

I'm building a new bike, and I have a problem I haven't run into before, and am hoping for some ideas. I have the following configuration :

Alpha Q GS40
SRAM Red Front Brake
Edge Composites 65 wheel
Vredestein Fortezza Quatro Tri-comp tire

Once I put this all together, the front brake arm rubs slightly on the tire in a couple of places. I worry that once I hit the hot road, and the tire expands, this problem will just become worse. What are my options? I think this is already a pretty low profile tire. Is there a way to move the brake up, with a special bolt through the fork?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.
