Help with rotor problem

Hey everyone Im fairly new to the toyota 4runner. I got a 2003 T4R SR5 V8 4.7, with 17 inch tires. I was hearing noise from the front tire. Got it checked out, they told me I needed new brakes and rotors. So I got them, when we went to put the rotor on it was too big. So instead I used to old rotors till the right size come in. Now when I brake at 50mph, it feels like the vehicle is pulling right, and like it jumping, and the right rotor gets extremly hot, the left is about normal. But with the old rotors the left has grooves in it and the right doesnt.

I was told the reason the vehicle is pulling and jumping is becasue the brake pads are wrong, or the caliper is freezing. I was also told it was the rotors are bad by someone else. What could it be?

Also the rotors I ordered were too big, it was duralast part number 31326, apparantley I need part number 31327, that is the smaller rotor, I do have 17 inch tires, I am so confused about this can someone please help?

do I need the 31327 rotor for the SR5, and the 31326 is the sport?

Not sure why it is pulling right but I just went through this process last weekend with my 2005 V6 Sport with 17 inch tires.

The correct rotors are actually for the 16 inch wheel and not the 17. What is programmed into many auto parts store computers is incorrect.
 
Just replaced all my rotors, two front calipers and rear pads with NAPA Ultra Premium products. Improved the braking significantly. All four rotors and rear pads were bad, front calipers had a frozen piston in each. Front pads were new.
