Hello World,

I am reworking my front 5 lug struts,shocks and calipers. I was able to pick-up a set of Wilwood Superlite 3.5" spacing front calipers with 3 sets of additional brake pads.
Upon doing a dry run on fit, I needed to trim my brake dust covers slightly but I noticed that the caliper did not line up in the center of the rotor.
Rotors are new Sebro 405 43001 098.

Is it possible to use washers to adjust the caliper position to center. I would obviously purchase longer bolts to make sure that the same amount of thread is holding in the strut. The adjustment distance would be approximately 5mm.

Thanks,
