Performance Brakes

I just tried installing the rear performance brakes with BMW Perf Rotors and Calipers on my 08 e90 328I. I tried installing it and for some reason the rear rotors sit in too much, more so that it doesnt "align" with the calipers. Am i missing something?

yea figured it out! The Performance rotor hub dont fit my car, it goes in too deep and it ends up touching my endlinks. However it does fit the performance calipers no problem with the width and sizes. I guess this is why they dont offer it for the 328i e90.

I did realize that the 328i stock rotor hub doesnt go in as deep and sits perfectly on the hubs except they dont fit the performance calipers since they are too small. So now, i need the thicker in width preferably 324mm x 22mm would be ideal but in the stock 328 setup.

Would there be any dangers or things I should worry for if i use the performance rotors and throw on "spacers" to push it back out more?
