Default caliper and rotor question

So my car is a stock 2001 itr
i got my reman oem itr calipers in today and went to put them on. they have 23t brackets

took off my oem calipers and brackets on my stock itr and the brackets are 25t

here is where im confused. i bought my blank rotors at napa and i put the 23t bracket on and it hit my old and my new rotor. so i put the old 25 t on and it was fine. thats where im confused because the website says its a 23mm rotor but wont work with my 23t brand new bracket.

so considering the napa rotor saying its a 23mm and it still not fitting my 23t bracket but my 25 bracket perfect will it be fine?

Soooo... You had all OE brake parts on the car. Bought replacement OE style calipers and rotors. But the calipers had a different, non-OE bracket. With the non-OE bracket there's contact. When you put back on the OE one, you're fine.

The only issue I see here is that it looks like you got the wrong bracket with your reman'd calipers.

They are acura oem reman itr calipers but they came with 23t brackets and my car which is all stock has 25t brackets. the new blank rotor i got is a 23mm rotor but when i tried to use the new 23t bracket which is meant for a 23mm rotor it didnt fit. so i reused my old 25t bracket so it would all go back together.

Just trying to figure out why some itrs people say have 23t brackets and some have 25t brackets. and why a 23mm blank rotor wont fit my 23t bracket.

My 2001 oem itr front brackets are 25T.

I also have a 2000 integra LS. I upgraded its front brakes, with calipers from a 98-02 accord V6, with 23T brackets, but they didn't clear the rotors.
So, for a couple of years I used an SAE 8 gold 3mm washer on each lug, to offset/clear the rotors. I bought rotors (4 lug 10.1" for integras) from FastBrakes in Arizona.

Later, I bought the cut 23T brackets , from FastBrakes.

25T brackets are hard to find.

Is it possible to measure the brackets? That will tell u what size they really are, Incase the stamping is incorrect on those brackets. Anythings possible...
