2012 IS250 AWD upgrading to IS350 calipers - BIG FAILED!

2012 IS250 AWD upgrading to IS350 calipers - BIG FAILED!
so finally i decided to upgrade my brakes since I just purchased the car and indeed the calipers are very tiny. anyhow, so i decided to order all the parts from Amazon but when i was picking out the rotors there were no option for RWD or AWD. long story short, once i put everything back together with the front wheels, seem like the wheels no longer spin, i double check everything and seem like the rear hub is touching the back.
as for my rear i had to bent the entire dust shield, is that normal? also, I noticed the rear brake pads are NOT touching the rotors 100%. see below for picture and please help!
I'm planning to get the rotors from Autozone or Advance auto for quick fix but their sites does NOT even have a options to pick RWD or AWD.

I think the front brakes are different from awd and rwd. Here's a link w someone with a similar issue. I didn't read through it all

The rear does req some modification for clearance.

You have to check the part numbers for the front rotors. 2010-2013 AWD and RWD is350 rotors are all the same but sometimes vendors might advertise RWD 2006 to 2013 not knowing that they are different part numbers. 2006-2009 are different rotors all together
I gave 2012 IS350 front rotors on my AWD. I would follow this DIY as it explains it more in detail

This should help you out. When I did my conversion, I used all autozone duralast parts. Its just getting the right rotors with the proper offsets
There are 2 types of IS250 front rotors and 3 types of IS350 front rotors. They vary between years and models, as well as what country the vehicle was destined for.
IS250:
06-08 are all the same (28mm thick, non-directional cooling vanes)
09-13 Canada-spec are the same as 06-08
09-13 USA-spec are different than 06-08 and 09-13 Canada-spec (32mm thick with directional cooling vanes)
RWD and AWD makes no difference for the IS250.
IS350:
06-08 are all the same (30mm thick, outside-rotor centre vented hub, directional cooling vanes), will not fit AWD models.
09-13 Canada-spec RWD are the same as 06-08, will not fit AWD models.
09-13 USA-spec RWD are different than 06-08 and 09-13 Canada-spec RWD (inside-rotor cooling vane vents), will fit RWD and AWD models.
11-13 AWD are the same as 09-13 USA-spec RWD (inside-rotor cooling vane vents, more clearance for the AWD hub), will fit RWD and AWD models.
Part Numbers (IS250):
43512-30310 - 06-08, 09-13 Canada-spec (RH & LH Same)
43512-30320 - 09-13 USA-spec (RH)
43516-30010 - 09-13 USA-spec (LH)
Part Numbers (IS350):
43512-22260 - 06-08, 09-13 Canada-spec RWD (RH)
43516-22010 - 06-08, 09-13 Canada-spec RWD (LH)
43512-30350 - 09-13 USA-spec RWD, 11-13 AWD (RH, replaces 43512-30340)
43516-30040 - 09-13 USA-spec RWD, 11-13 AWD (LH, replaces 43516-30030)
I hope that helps!

thanks for everything guys, so the rear I did the 350 upgraded, i google a lot of photos and confirmed that after the upgraded 350 calipers that the rear approx 10% of the rotors are NOT touching.
as for the front I gave up, i'm done trying to make it work or order more parts.
I'll have brand new is350 and pads for sale. below are the link.
