Default Premiums on Series 3 AU

Hi I have a Ser 3 220 with standard brakes. I have purchased front and rear calipers and braided lines and also came with machined rotors of a Ser 2. The front rotors on my ser 3 are alot deeper then the ser 2 rotors? Is this standard as the caliper bracket now has a 10mm gap between bracket and strut? Its like the rotors are offset more on my series 3 standard brakes? Can I just buy rotors with the same offset as my ser 3 rotors or do I have to change uprights as well to make these brakes work? Any help would be great thanks.

What size/diameter are the rotors as the std brakes on a Series 2 and 3 have the same 287mm front and rear brakes unless they are upgraded brakes or BA.

I have standard Series 3 brakes on it at the moment and have purchased a set of Premium brakes of Series 2. Sorry I forgot to mention they are Tickford premiums I purchased. I have just seen a picture of a spacer Ford used when upgrading to premium brakes. Is it possible to purchase these spacers? Cheers

They are 329mm rotors I have purchased I think. But looking at some pictures of the premium brakes on the AU's Ford's spacer puts the caliper further forward around the rotor. The bolts that currently hold the standard caliper on, end up bolting into a spacer/bracket that has holes through it which 2 more bolts go through into the caliper mount.
