It's either one or the other. The
width of the rotor=X and since you said it was rubbing on only one side,
then obviously the
width of slot in bracket=X+Z with the slot being wider.
If it was centered, then you would have a
gap of Z/2 on both sides.
Since it's really not centered but is rubbing on one side only, then the
gap on the other side=Z.
Trick now is to check the parts and re-arrange or modify as necessary so that the rotor sits centered in the slot in the bracket. I've seen issues with the centre hole of the rotor not sliding onto the hub properly. Try this:
1. remove rotor and inspect centre hole and make sure it's uniform and not deformed in anyway. No extra casting ridges or imperfections
2. inspect seating area on hub for rotor. It should be clean and free of rust and dirt.
3. leaving brakes & pads off and install the wheel and tightening the lug-nuts to spec
4. remove wheel and inspect rotor alignment within bracket
If it's still not centered in the bracket and still rubbing on one side, something's wrong. Time to measure the offset of this rotor and compare to the one you removed that
DID have the proper clearance. Perhaps re-install the old rotor and measure the clearance to the bracket on both the inside & outside. These numbers will be handy to compare to the replacement rotor.
