Anyone? They're SRAM Guide RE (so bottom end Code calipers).

Seems almost ironic that the US brake manufacturer uses a metric size and the UK / Japanese makes use an Imperial 8" (aka 203mm) but there we go, if I don't want another set of butter SRAM discs, can I get away with a slightly larger disc?

Get some cnc'd titanium m6 washers, not just any old stamped washers you've got knocking around, they wont be precise and could vary from 1.3 to 1.7 from one side to the other.
Try Raceti from the mythical world of Ebay 🙂

I've found that the washers which go between the top of the caliper and bottom the bolt head to be exactly 1.5mm and moving them to under the caliper instead of on top spaced the caliper enough to resolve going from 200 to 203
