Yep, the plan is for a good rotor/hub fit such that "0" radial movement would be allowed. I suspect the Chev studs are smaller in diameter than the Toyota and thus the studs must only serve to retain the rotational position of the rotor, not in the radial position.

I did think of replacing the Chev studs with metric (to match the rears), but I want things to be easily reversible (a bit silly I know but there it is).
