Caliper misaligned after pad and rotor install

So I put new pads (hawk hps) and rotors (raceshopper.com's signature series) on my 98 with stock calipers and after putting everything back together I noticed that I couldn't spin the hub.
At first I thought that the caliper was hung up but after looking closer at the problem I found out that when I bolt the caliper up to it's bracket it rotates the caliper out of alignment with the rotor when the rotor is flush to the hub. So when I bolt the wheel on the caliper is pressed up against the outside pad.
Has anyone encountered a similar problem? My brakes were working fine before this and the old pads and rotors show no sign of uneven wear.
