Either way, it was a five minute fix and I got em on.
Just re-read my post and I didn't mean to give the impression that I thought yours should have fit -- just odd that my stock replacement rotors were significantly smaller than the hub bore on the rims whereas yours were obviously tight. A veritable case of YMMV. I'm still interested in the diameter of your hubs if you can measure before you grind the other side (if you haven't already ... although from you last post it looks like you did).

The damage was done, he either cross threaded it or used the wrong lug nut. When I went to pull it off it was really tight on the threads, it spun about 1 and a 1/2 turns then stripped the splines inside the drum.
D'OH!!!
