I have 18ZR 350 mm front brakes does that mean the rear are 355 or 330? I bought the Pagid 355's and they fit good, I do not notice any issues with the braking, but I am concerned about how close the metal heads are - resting on the caliper. Is this OK ? see picture below:

Standard brakes were 350 mm front and 330 mm rear.

The effective brake lining stuff is wider for use on the larger front rotors, so they will overlay the smaller rear rotors on the inside and outside as well. I would change them ASAP.

They fit in the caliper perfectly other than the silver head is right up on the caliper - they are 355 REAR pads the pic is of them on the rear caliper. I did not put front pads on the rear...

That said is it still a significant issue? The pad material is aligned with the rotor properly.

I have expressed my bad, i know you cant mount front pads on the rear. My point was the density difference in effective brake lining between 330 and 355 and where the difference is located on the pad. I have no experience with third party parts, i would take contact with the pad manufacturer to clear this out or better go for OEM parts.
