Has anybody else had a problem with the calipers not fitting over new Brembo brand vented front rotors on a n/a 1986+ sedan?

This rotor does not allow the caliper to slide down over it -- the caliper is a good 1/4" outbound of its mounting and the caliper will not slide down into place. The rotor is either too thick or something is off-setting to the outboard. Also, it just barely slips between the caliper halves.

box markings are: 1228153 with part number: 270739-6 stamped on the edge of the rotor is "MIN THK 22.8 mm" I figure this is the minimum thickness. Overall, it measures about 24 mm.

the other rotor I have lists the same part numbers, except the "-6" does not appear after 270379. I haven't taken this one out of the box to try.

Bought these several months ago from www.thepartsbin.com (a.k.a. alloem.com)

anybody had this trouble? Do I have the correct part?

I tried 3-4 times to fit the one rotor. It just sticks out too far for the caliper.
