Bit late to this and you may already have covered this, but are you using Hope rotors too? The clearance is less than standard and Hope rotors are narrower to account for it.
Lots knows why, but 🤷♂️ reasons.

Are you sure? Hope rotors are normally wider than Shimano/SRAM

No! I'm using Shimano (XT I think). This could be the solution!

Is anybody running Hope RX4 calipers? I've set them up with Apex AXS and they seem to work very well, but I just can't seem to prevent rub.
The bleeding process was quite easy and I followed Hope's instructions to the letter. It just seems like the (new) pads just aren't far apart enough for the rotor. I made sure that the pistons were pushed in etc during the bleeding process, but still getting a very light rub front and rear. It's not too much of an issue as it really is very light, but still annoying. Do I just need to suck it up until the pads wear a bit?
One thing I noticed is that the brakes clamp very early in the lever action. Can you bleed brakes too well?
