Maintenance/Repairs

Hey everyone. I just bought a 1998 Lincoln Navigator in april 2020. After driving a while I found that the brakes where vibration, kicking back, while I braked under 10 on occasion. I replaced the caliber, the rotors, pads on the front the issues stayed. I downgraded from 17in rims to 16in appently that was OEM for 1998. Which lead to the front driver side rim lug holes being stretched bigger. I went from steel to aluminum to cut down weight and save fuel etc. This has lead to the the first problem being fixed which makes me think the abs was not reading right.
What would cause the rim lugs to stretch.
It is only the driver front?
I have to rebuild the suspension anyway which is going to happen soon.
