Is there a 255mm diameter rear disc that has the same bolt pattern as the 285mm unit found on the America?

That would be 30 mm less diameter, so what I'm thinking the rotor would be 15 mm lower on the pads.
That sound right ? Seems to me the calipers would have to agree.

Yea, that's how it works, turn 15 thou off a shaft with a lathe and it comes out with a 30 thou smaller diameter.
