Might rub when the rotor gets hot...then it'll get even hotter! Looks a bit sketchy--where did you source the rotor & caliper??

What is the piston to caliper difference? They should be equal or damn near. You could always machine the caliper.

nevermind... figured it out. struts were powdercoated and i forgot to tape that side off. when i bolted up the other side the disc was perfectly centered.

a little file and sandpaper work and its fixed now.
