I received the "shaved" rotors and installed one on the right rear.
Results: equal spacing on both sides now! I can get my finger(baby) between the tire and fender.

Thanks again, Joe.

Each rotor bolting face was ultrasonically scanned for wall thickness and possible inclusion in the metal. At that time I also had access to metallurgical equipment to record the material composition. With this info I figured out the minimum required metal thickness for the lateral forces on the bolting surface. Concideration of the rear raised bolting flanges ( on the backside of the rotors) were added in the calculations. We came up with 0.200" that could be removed from the bolting face of each rotor we had in our possession . A cnc lathe was used to perform the metal removal. A lot of time and effort went into these rotors. I would advice that you don't generically start removing metal from your brake rotors.
