There is a very fine line between "Too Tight" and "OK". With new bearings and races it will feel tighter until the cones and races have beded together. Remove the caliper, snug the center retaining nut down slowly until it feels tight (the rotor) then loosen it very little so the cotter pin retainer lines up and then spin the rotor a few times. If it is not binding it will probably be OK as it will spin easier when the bearings and races bed in together.
Do a small amount of low speed driving and then check the bearings again, you may find that they are much easier to spin after just a few miles.
