I don't exactly know what you did with the calipers to fit it to your standard disc but I assume you made the brackets shorter in oder for the calipers to fit a smaller disc. Now that you want to fit a bigger disc, probably you need to fabricate an adapter bracket will help to raise the caliper's height again in order to fit in the bigger disc. I think that'd be a much better idea than to skim the bigger disc smaller. It just doesn't make sense, bro.

Fit in a bigger disc but make it smaller, don't you think it's kinda silly ?

Send the whole knuckle + your present calipers & discs; bring along the bigger disc to the foundry & explain to them your intentions. They'll know what to do.

Just trying to help, bro....
