There ya go!
Speaking of spacers, will adding a space between the rotor and the wheel screw up the steering geometry at all? I was taking a closer look at how the caliper fits in the orginal wheels, and it looks like if I put a 1/2 in spacer between the rotor and the wheel, everything would work out just fine.
