Rear 11.5 brakes/8.8 fox rear end

[Justinmk4]

Good afternoon guys, I need some help. I have mounted my brackets correctly and checked about 10 times to confirm I have done this per the specs! I have swapped out to a 5 lug axles already obviously. What is the measured length supposed to be out side of axle to outside of axle where the rotors butt up to? It appears that when the rotors are tight to the axle with one lug nut there is not enough room between the mounting plate and rotor to slide the caliper in to place? Possible axles that were shipped are to short??? 1-207-671-1228. Thx

There are two different length axles you could have gotten, one 3/4" longer than the other. One Fox and the longer SN-95. If you got the Fox length, vendors sell an offset mounting plate to mount the brake caliper. Those brakes were for the SN-95 length axles originally. Most use the Fox length axles for a deeper dish look and fit.

Thank u I ended up shimming the plates over and all lined up great.

You may need spacers. I haven't done mine yet so not certain, but when I ordered parts from Richard at North Racecars, he said to buy axle spacers from disc brakes r us.
