brake rotor grinding bracket- normal?
I've replaced rotors before but never run into this before; I got new rotors, stuck them on the hub and try to turn them to make sure they are good and I realize that part of the bracket is actually touching the rotor. Its leaving a 10mm wide strip on the rotor. By the way, no brake pads are on just yet and the rotor is flush with the hub, the bracket tightened as it should be.
So, I'm thinking about that and figure " try to put the new pads on and see what happens?" So I put the new pads on, compress the piston all the way back, and the caliper wont even get on. What gives?
I'm sure I might be able to gorilla the caliper on with a hammer but I'm thinking something else is up.

looks like you either got the wrong rotors or the holes on the rotors arent machined properly and its actually not seating the rotor all the way. I'd get another rotor. Is the problem with both? or just one.
I really think they gave you the wrong rotors.

Problem's on both. I was also thinking they gave me the wrong rotors- especially since the caliper doesn't fit with the new pads. I kinda want make sure I'm not jumping to conclusions here...

here's some pictures. They are not very clear but if you look between the bracket there's some discoloration. This was with the just the bracket on, no pads, nothing....
