Wider triple clamps? FS570

I just got a brembo front caliper with which 2014- husqis are equipped. Mount it was easy but accidentaly the way of the fitting process was clean, no spokes... till the wheel (16,5) turned. The neg. clearence is too big to compensate it with washers and/or make it true to the side a bit (which doesn't seem a good idea). So t. clamps... if I get one from a exc for example -which probably has the biggest chance- than what have to be done to mount it with the factory gíven angle setup? Maybe other solutions? Thank you.
 
Pretty sure they are all the same width. Supermoto calipers usualy don't fit with the motocross wheels. And i'm not sure you can use the 260mm motocross brakes with a supermoto wheel. Mind to show us a picture? Lots of different brembo calipers out there...
 
If the issue is trying to put the wheel on, or take it off, you have to remove the caliper and one of the brake pads to fit it to a 16.5 wheel.
Take the caliper loose (hanging on the brake line)
Install the front wheel
remove the inner brake pad
slide the caliper back over the rotor, install the pad and mount the caliper.
 
Yep.. thats why I need new clamps. But dont know which other models than FS (from 2015-) and SMR (2014) -which models uses this caliper- have the same width like these. Probably none after run these specific models's triple clamp part numbers here KTM.SparePartsFinderFrontend and here Husqvarna.SparePartsFinderFrontend. And there wasn't any match with other models.
But there were other clamp numbers which wasn't in the database or it couldn't be recognised I dont know why.. If there is a more whole searchable database please leave a comment.
Definitely it'd be a great help if someone who knows would tell which part is compatible with which model.
 
they widened the fork centres on the KTM SMs in about 2015. I think they are another 10mm apart.
