Installed the new bearings, rotor, and "new"(read: $10 ebay) rear brake caliper mount (why? see below the rotor stuff)
The caliper mount was still functional but, took a serious beating from the invincible ebc rotor. those things are no joke. this happened when the wheel walked left on the narrower 205pp bearings when i was trying to get the spaceing/shim stuff right. needed to shim both sides, not just the right/brake side.

But you don't shim both sides

i think the single side thing applies to moco wheels and not these oddball wheels. i shimmed one side and it walked left. that caliper mount didn't eat itself. that right bearing was just beyond flush with the outer surface of the rotor during the initial fail. not good.
this is how far it walked... and that's where i caught it... not sure how much farther it would have gone. it may have just bottomed out on the 205pp on the left side. bad no matter what.
