(x-post) Help with brake upgrade!

I'm attempting to install a set of rotors from what I thought was a 951 on my '88 N/A.

I have installed:
- late-offset 951 spindles (non-M030),
- late-offset 951 (non-M030) calipers
- my original hubs

BUT: the used rotors I have won't fit over the wheel studs. Am I crazy, or do I need a different hub or rotor?

One of the front rotors I have is pictured beside my old N/A rotor from the same corner. The holes are bigger, and there is substantially more offset on the N/A rotor (the N/A rotor will fit under the caliper if mounted, but is obviously too small). The one on the left doesn't look right to me.

Looks like an early offset rotor to me.

Thanks, guys. Never having had them apart, I didn't know what they looked like, and couldn't account for the different hub-hat relationship. Wrong rotors.

I have a pair of late rotors to try, thanks to someone local.

I hate knowing so little about this stuff!

I will. I'm hoping to have it back on the road this weekend, and I'll start a new thread then with some pictures and my impressions.
