Gen5 Ugraded to 07 Camry rims, now have a problem

I have a 2003 Camry LE 4 cyl with stock 15" steel rims. (Actually mom's car.) I got the bright idea to be a good son and buy her a brand new set of 16" aluminum rims and tires from a 2007 Camry; got new lug nuts too. Here's the problem: when stopping there is a clunk from the rotor. I've noticed that the lug bolts are 12mm and that the bolt holes in the rotor are 14mm; therefore leaving 2mm of "slop". When applying the brakes, the rotor stops, but the hub and rim move the 2mm and cause the "clunk". When torqueing the lug nuts, I started at 80ft/lbs and have gone up to 105ft/lbs -- same problem. The lug nuts are a slip fit; no slop. I didn't have this problem with the steel rims, but do with the factory aluminum rims.

I think the problem could be resolved with rotors with 12mm holes. However, I haven't had any success finding any, but does anyone know of a manufacturer of such?

Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance.

you need the lugnuts off the 2007 camry. the lugnuts for the steel wheels will not work for alloy wheels, as you need the oem style lugnuts that are tapered to fill the holes and have washers built in them
theyre about $2 a piece from the dealer. youll need 20.
