Hey guys, I have a question, which may seem stupid. If you have a big brake kit, the entire rotor assembly is often several mm thicker/taller overall, meaning the height is greater. For instance, from what I understand, the height of the BBK rotor for the Wilwood kit is ~54mm (28mm thick rotor, with a hat offset of ~30mm and a thickness of ~6mm = 54mm).
From what I understand, the height of the stock rotor is about 40mm (25mm thick and ~15mm for the "hat" part). If the height on the Wilwood rotor is around 14mm greater, how does one properly torque their wheels? Isn't this in essence the same as having a ~15mm wheel spacer on a stock rotor? If anyone could clear that up, that would be great.

Steve and Barbara have developed a solid foundation for the new effort that will be led by NASA veteran Jon Felton and backed by the NASA National Office. Felton has over thirteen years of experience with NASA at the regional level in the Mid-Atlantic region and has also been NASA’s National NASA-X Director since the program’s inception.Chief Divisional Director John Lindsey said that "While I am sad to see Steve and Barbara leaving the ranks, I am pleased to welcome Jon into his new role as the Florida Region Director. We are very grateful to Steve and Barbara for their many years of hard work and we look forward to seeing where we can take the region with Jon at the helm."
New Florida Region Director Jon Felton added "I am very excited to get working on building up the grids in Florida. This is an amazing opportunity and I can’t wait to get to know all of our Florida drivers in the next few months."
