New brake pads not hitting outside edge of rotor
Hey guys, my first post I think! I replaced the front calipers, pads and rotors on my 96 yota 4runner, Sr5 V6 4WD. Everything seems ok except i noticed the outside 1/8" of the rotor didnt seem to be getting contact from the pad. Its the same on both sides. The old and new rotors are the same size. I measured them. Didnt see this wear on the old rotors. Maybe a thin bit, but this is more pronounced.
Is this normal or should I do something about it?
I added a pic of it..
Thanks in advance! I just started wrenching on my own. Its alot of fun and I already saved myself $300. Gonna spend that saved money on tools and move on to other parts of the truck. Ill leave the heavy stuff for a true pro. Or make friends and ply them with beer!

Thanks! Ive definitely caught the wrenching bug!
Is it important to use the lubey stuff on the calipers? I had never seen this used. But as I go around the internetz it seems people do this.
My next project is the rear brakes.
