Default Help: brake component problem

I went to replace the brake pads and rotors on my left front tire and now the caliper is right up against the rim? It wasn’t before. Help

Zoe,
Audi installed several different brake assemblies depending on the model year and trim level. For example, my A4 has 321 mm rotors whereas the lower trim version is 288 mm.
Try measuring the rotor diameter.
