OK don't all flame me as im asking this looking for a fresh clear answer from someone who has actually physically checked this as all the other previous info has become clouded & confusing & the measurements in the DBA list may or may not be correct.

I need to know if the 3rd gen rear AWD rotors are bigger in the hat which would make the disc sit further to the inside of the car on a FWD.
Or is the hat on AWD shorter than a FWD making the disc sit further to the outside of the car.
I need to know this as I am currently talking to brake people about rear rotor solutions & the measurements in the DBA listing seems to conflict with some of the info about this on here.
Can someone that actually knows this for sure leave the answer here or pm me please.

Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Craig.

The AWD rear rotor hat is 3mm bigger then the FWD Eqiv's, you can get a spacer made up but will require an engineering cert. Best bet is to hit Wook up and try to stir the Ralliart Rear group buy back up.

3.7mm to be exact.

Well there you go, also you could look at a 380 rear hub/disc conversion, it all lines up just needs a handbrake line adjuster.

By Bigger - do you mean Taller Hat? Which would mean it would sit 3.7mm too far towards the inside of the car without the spacer?

3.7mm to be exact.OK, Acording to the DBA Listing the AWD hat is actually 3.2mm bigger than the FWD hat.
So who is correct then?

Its 3.7mm if you look in there printed catalogue it states 3.7mm but the website 3.2mm i would say its a typo on the webpage.
