If the new caliper rubs also, first check the wheel bearing play. Put the wheel back on to check it so you have enough leverage. Check the rotor diameter versus the brake pad wear area, maybe you have some extra metal there to get rid of, especially if it is aftermarket and not original GM stuff. I've had to clearance some calipers for aftermarket rotors before, and like J R said that 50 or 60 thousandths is not going to effect the strength of that iron casting.
