Default 01 a4 front brake rotor question

I was changing over to my snow tires last night and the left front wheel was rusted on. I got it off (small love taps with sledge hammer from back of tire) and the rotor came loose (not off just moved around). I used the plastic peg they give you to change tires to hold the rotor in place while I put the snow tire on.

Does anything else hold the rotor in place besides the wheel lugs??
Drove it and it felt find but kinda nervous??

That's ok. The lugs hold it in place. Nothing else holds it on.

Default Yep that is it.

The caliper keeps it from falling off.

It's good to put some copper-based anti-seize between the wheel and the rotor, to make it easier to remove the wheel next time.
