Calipers and rotor sizes

I'm looking at using some calipers that were originally used on 324x30mm rotors together with some 320x32mm rotors.
Can anyone see any problem with this? I just want to know if the calipers will work with the rotors that are 2mm thicker 
Any thoughts?

You probably could but you will have excessive pad rub. Judging by your other posts, I presume you are investigating using those R33 Brembos.
What you could do is machine a spacer plate to go between the two caliper halves. The spacer of course would be 2 mm thick, have to be ground to a perfectly flat finish and be made from a similar alloy as the calipers (so it has a similar thermal expansion coefficient). There may be some other minor issues (like pad return springs or pad holding pins) but these can be easily overcome.

Thanks for that. I might look at using something different.
I want to make things easy to replace/repair in the future if need me.
