hello Haf1zur.
I am afraid you are going to have to get new calipers. unless the wheel is not in correctly.0 -
Looks like you need long drop calipers. I haven't heard of any adapters but they may be out there.

Now to figure out which caliper i should be going for
Looks like a 10cm longer reach, but from what? the caliper pictures is a 105 BR-5600, anyone know the reach of that one as i cant find it in the Shimano tech doc0 -
-
What have you changed on the bike that the pads don't reach? Presumably it worked before?
I can't imagine that the wheel is properly seated as it appears to be miles away from the fork crown.Faster than a tent.......0 -

Looks like you'll need long drops then - the fork presumably isn't for a racing bike so has greater clearance and a higher mount for mudguards. Personally I'd rather get another fork but I'd guess the caliper you linked to ought to work. You can check by measuring.Faster than a tent.......0

Will be changing the fork sooner or later, just want to get it on the road for now, i like the look of the 105 calipers so a fork change would make sense, specially a lighter one
Thanks for the help0 -
Std Shimano road brake is 47mm drop - longer drops are 57mm0

Yes just get a 57mm front caliper and you should be on your way0 -
That did the trick, the R650 at 57mm drop
Need to change the fork, not liking it0 -
