Default OEM Brake Rotors (Front) same as on ISX50?

Before I call the dealership to return, I just wanted to know if we share the same brake rotors in the front. I have an 07 GS350. I ordered them from Sewell but when I went to swap them out the ones from Sewell were alot smaller then my the ones on my car which are OEM also.

I believe they're they're the same as the IS350. Definitely not the same as the IS250.

Yes they are the same between the IS350 and GS350. IS250 and GS300 are the same with the smaller calipers.

They must have shipped the wrong part, do you have the part # off the box? I can look it up to confirm for you.

I called another dealership and when I gave him my VIN # he said there were 2 options for rotors, Regular and Directional rotors. My car uses the directional. He could not verify the size difference though but said if I used the regular rotors I could heat up the rotors alot faster and cause warping I guess. Thanks for all your input. I submitted an RMA request to Sewell so hopefully it gets approved and I don't get stuck with a 10% restocking fee and shipping cost back to them.

Just found out that the rotors are for a GS300. Makes sense. Thanks Darrel at Sewell for looking into and taking care of this for me.
