front wheel hits bike frame

front wheel hits bike frameHello, I recently bought a second hand Avanti Pista Pro fixed gear velodrome bike, hoping to convert it into a fixed gear freestyle bike (to do tricks on it like barspins, Wheelies etc.). I have a problem though, I wanted to do bar spins with the bike (I put straight bars on the bike) but when the front of the tyre/wheel swings around it hits the frames bottom tube and does not go any further. Can anyone think of a solution for this, so the tyre/wheel clears the frames bottom tube? The only solution I can think of is to get some sort of part that makes the fork longer, so the wheel is further down and clears the frame. I can not afford anything to expensive though.
If anyone could come up with a solution, I would be very grateful!
