Sus fork drop out/Hope rotor catching with Hope hub question

Im in the process of building a Yeti ASR up and I have used a DT Swiss Carbon XMC 120 suspension fork with Hope E4 calipers/Hope saw rotors with Chris King hubs, this combination looks great, but the rotor catches the forks drop out at the moment where the caliper mounts are. Question is how can I get over this? Ive seen bit on the net about filing the caliper mount down? Another thought is using a Hope pro 2 evo hub (im hoping the rotor mount on the hub is further in to the centre of the wheel than on my Chris king)? What I could do with finding out is what the gap is between the face of the QR that fits against the side of the dropout of the fork and the face of the actual rotor mount is on the hub of a Hope Pro 2 EVO is? If its even a mill better than the Chris king, it should work.
 
Re:

Is this for a 9mm QR hub? If so, my Hope Pro 2 measures 11.38mm from the rotor mounting face to the axle end face.
This is a known issue with Hope floating rotors on certain forks (PM especially) but you can sometimes get around it by removing a little material from the forks or from the caliper/adapter, depending where the interference is occurring.

Yep, saw that thread before posting, but you've given me exactly what I need to see if using Hope hubs would be any better than the kings. Really don't want to take a file to the forks as they are mint.
Thanks!
