Should be close enough. I suggest you have or invest in a set of 6 pt. combination metric wrenches (up to at least 18mm) and a ball peen hammer to loosen and tighten the caliper bolts with the box-end. 12 pt. suck at anything but rounding off the heads.
Bungee cords (1 ft. or shorter, elastic not rubber, with small hooks at the end to hook around the spring coils while going through the caliper slot) are highly recommended as an alternative to letting the caliper hang free on the brake hose (very ghetto).
An impact driver is probably a good idea to remove the rotor retaining screws and a little anti-seize recommended if you put them back in.
A large C-clamp (5" or larger) will greatly help in compressing the front caliper pistons to allow the new pads to clear the front caliper.
