[DeTomaso] Stoptech rotor scrape

Yikes!

Okay, that's really weird. I would guess you didn't clean up the mounting surface on the front of the hub, and corrosion buildup is preventing the rotor from seating on the hub properly. Either that or the inner bearing race isn't seated properly in the hub, so the hub is sticking out slightly. 

Or, you left the stock spacers in place which offset the caliper inboard?

Don't start filing anything yet. Take it all apart and check everything carefully. I'm betting this is a minor installation error problem, easily resolved. 

Let us know what you find out!
