Default size difference between 93 and 95 front brakes?

Does anybody have an idea of about how far the 95 brakes stick out more than the 93-94's? I'm just trying to get idea of if I'll need spacers, and if I do what size spacers. I just picked up another set of wheels and I'm looking at doing the 95+ brake upgrade soon.

Here's the gap between the wheel and brake now. Will the brakes fit? Wheels are 18's.

If you can't tell in the pic, I can squeeze two fingers inbetween them now. Lol, and I know this is not a good way to measure. But they are about normal sized fingers.

I know they are big brakes. I just wonder if the wheels I have will have enough clearance from the spokes or not. If somebody had a measurement of the diffrence, that would help out alot. I might must end up test fitting a caliper and see if clears the wheel.

call the wheel manufacturer and check if they're good for big brakes, this kind of comparison won't get you anywhere lol.

Unless they're high disk/high pad wheels, they won't clear.

Lol, I know PD. I figured it was a long shot. I'll see about calling them, but I have a feeling that they won't be able to tell me. It's kind of a "BOBO" wheel company. lol
