It's NORMAL
All aftermarket rotors for these are ONE size to accomodate multiple applications. In this case, the rotors have a larger swept area than required. Rust isn't a problem here and you can just leave em alone. I painted mine with high temp paint... painting the unswept area...in fact, I did this ON THE CAR. Masked off most of the actual swept area and it cleaned up when I ran them. Simple way to go.

Buy properly-sized rotors. Big rotor with small caliper is silly, IMO.
