Default aerospace brake rotor spacing?

Just wandering if any body had to use a spacer behind the rotor in order to keep it from touching the caliper mounting bracket. I had to use an 1\8 inch wheel spacer to make the kit fit. I have an aftermarket 9 inch if it matters. Just worried about the safety side of things. Any help is much appreciated.

Do you have bearing spacers or did you use the supplied caliper spacers?

You need a bearing spacer that sits between the housing end and the axle bearing. We sell them with every set of brakes.
