That's fine, but there's something like 6 different sized "standard"
bearings.

Manufacturing tolerance.  The difference in grades only requires about 0.0003"
difference in radius (or 0.0006" difference in diameter).  Perhaps less (no, I
don't have an FSM at work, although that sounds like a good idea).  Nissan
bearings run super tight clearances.
