Rotor size "16 or 17?"
Hey all, I'm in need of some new rotors soon, as my rear pads are all but worn down, front pads are new, and the weight application difference has pretty much destroyed my front rotors "warped badly". I'm curious though about the different rotor sizes available. I have a basic SR5, V8 2005, but also have 17' wheels. I'm not sure if the 17' wheels weren't an add-on when purchased, instead of from the factory, being as it's a SR5. I'm the second owner, original owner bought it in Illinois. If it matters, I also have a factory sunroof, no spoiler, crome tip exhaust, perm 4x4. I'm about to order the new rotors and pads all around online "for a total savings of over $140bucks over dealership prices" and don't want any suprises when I get into the process. If the car has 17' wheels, am i safe to assume the rotors are 17' as well? Is it an either/or situation, or could there be 16' on the car, but have 17' rotors? Any way to tell without taking them off?
Thanks all!
