Ovaled lug holes in rotors???
Is this normal? I just went out to the garage for a smoke and noticed an an off-center rust mark on my rotors from my wheels. Then I noticed that the lug holes are a little bigger than the lugs.
Am I making too much of this because I haven't had the wheels off in a long time, or is this normal oversize of the lug holes in the rotors?
I've got the wheels off and are down at Firestone getting my new NT05's mounted. -I didn't buy the tires there.

Ahh ok.. I wouldn't think anything would get ovaled out if the lugs are tight. I know the lug holes have to be bigger, but they seemed oddly large. Tq the lugs to 90, right?? Just curious. Mind as well tq em since I'll be installing them again anyway.

its 100, straight from the book, and a haynes manual.
also, ill forgo the fact that drilled rotors are worthless and do nothing for braking.......but since theyre obviously aftermarket rotors, the holes do look bigger then normal. whatever company that made them may have looser tolerances then others, or may make one rotor to fit 2 different cars, so they open up the lug holes. im near positive my brembo rotors dont have holes that big.
