You could lower the bottom/front bolt on the caliper a good 4 or 5, that would also bring it forward a bit. As a result, the caliper would both move forward as rotate anti-clockwise giving you a lot more room between the caliper and seat stay.That does mean you need a redesigned disc tab.
Edit: I only just now got what you meant by "The caliper touches the disc brake tab". Never mind.

My disc tab on the SSCX doesn't work. I thought I could get away with a 140mm rotor but it doesn't work. The caliper touches the disc brake tab. 160mm won't work because of the seat stays so it looks like I need to redo the whole thing. I will probably do something like I did for my dad's surly as that works fine. But it does mean sacrificing the clean wish bone. Ohh wel...
