Sounds like you just didn't get the pistons pushed all the way back in.

Stick the old pads back in the caliper, and remove the cover from your brake master cylinder under your hood. Use a C-clamp to slowly press the piston back into the caliper. Once that's done, recover the master cylinder, and swap the new pads back in to the caliper. Should be good to go after that.
