Default Raybestos rotors fitment...problem?

Hey guys, I ordered some reybestos rotors from amazon and upon installation I've noticed the inside portion of the rotor rubbing the inside portion of the caliper. Has anyone ran into this issue before? Thinks causing the two to grind and make an awful awful sound. Thanks for the help

Here's a Blog from one of our site sponsor's where he installed Raybestos Rotors. He had no such issues.

I run these rotors as well with zero fitment or performance issues. Double check your installation.

I've double and quadruple checked everything and can't seem to find anything other than the rotor is too thick. Does the fact that my calipers are powdercoated have an effect on the situation?

Did you make sure it's the exact and correct part number?

Did you use a wire brush around the hub to make sure there was no debris left over from the previous rotors? It's possible that there is some dirt/rust that is keeping the rotor from sitting flush against the hub.

Correct

Yes the OEM "Dust Shields" create a spacer like affect.. Without them the Caliper will hit the rotor as shown in the photo..
