The latter is never a bad thing.
Dude how did you jack up the bearing and race that bad?

The race was fine, for whatever reason I only messed up one bearing, due to different tolerances inside of the hub I believe.
I put them in upside down (bearing first then race on top) lol so the inner bearing was locked into the backside of the hub by the race, I had to beat the race out with a long ass punch going through the opposite side and the bearing was covering up all of the race so I had to mash the bearing into the race to get it out. I'm sure there are more humane ways of doing this but I don't know them.

Rotors.

Driver side.
Studs are a hair short but I think they'll be alright.

Passenger side.
Outer pad is really really snug on the rotor... I checked the caliper vs. another one I had to make sure it wasn't tweaked and the openings where the pads sit are the same width in both so I didn't bend anything, hub is staked tight to the hub, hub seated as far onto the spindle as it will go and a spindle nut securing the hub to the spindle with just a **** hair of play, like 1mm of play just cause I didn't want to crank it down. I also rotated the rotor to see if maybe it was warped in that spot... same results all the way around the rotor.
Any suggestions? The inner brake pad has plenty of room, is this something hat will even out when I get the lines hooked up and actually use the brakes?

Also, I may be taking this stuff apart and puting longer wheel studs in, looked it all over one more time and those mfer's are short.
Are the caliper brackets in right ?

I'm pretty sure they are.

Pic of passenger side bracket. Both sides are setup the same way with gussets facing in.
Does not look like your hub is all the way on.

It's seated the same as the driver side. pics for comparison.
Top pic driver side, bottom pic passenger side.
Could there be too much material on that pad?

No but the pad looks backwards

The inner pad on the picture that you posted appears to be in backwards.

Sure is... that's on the driver side though.
Popped the hub seal of the passenger side out, pulled the inner bearing and race and the step that it sits on was kinda deformed from me beating the race out early so I beat it back into shape and smoothed everything over with a stone in my dremel, the rotor moves freely now but binds up in some areas, not bad but noticable, I don't think the rotor is completely staked to the hub and is throwing things off a little in those areas, unbalanced if you will.
I drove the studs with a punch and my sledge and I'm guessing a few didn't seat completely.
I need longer wheel stud so all this stuff is getting taken apart regardless.
Also, something to note is that these problems are coming from the messed up looking hub that I posted a pic of earlier.
The inner race in that hub spins freely when fully seated?! I think I may try to source a new set of hubs, the one mounted on the driver side is good to go but I may swap a whole different set ("Good" set) and keep the good one I have now as a shelf decoration.
The race should not be spinning inside the hub. That's just asking for trouble.

Yea... there's a few things about that hub that have raised red flags. I plan on getting another one as soon as funds permit,

Found a good looking hub on ebay for $67 so I bought it.
Got some longer studs on the way too.
