Front awd rotors..HELP
I have 2007 gs 350 and I have been having issues finding the correct front awd rotors. AutoZone, Advance auto Part and Lexus all have the same rotors. However, that is not the correct rotors on my vehicle. They did some research and two days later they stated because when my car was Manufactured (date is Mar 2007) my rotors are different. I went to go pick up what they deemed was now correct from Lexus dealership today. I paid $252.12 and the rotors are still incorrect. The rotors looks like my rotors but the width is different. The rotors Lexus gave me the width is 11 1/2. My rotors are 13 1/2 give or take. I even checked up and down a year. It should not be this hard when another Lexus dealership did my rotor work abt 2 years ago. I need help. Do anyone have any information? Thanks in advance

Front awd rotors
I did buy it used. One of the sales guy had it. It was a demo car. I’ve had my rotors changed before by Lexus. When I go back to Lexus today to return the rotors, I will definitely suggest that. Thanks
Thought.... if they did that, they would have to change the entire wheels fixtures to make everything fit. It looks like I still have my original wheel bearing fixture and some other wheel parts.

They say that the fsport measures at 13" so it looks like you have that upgrade. Those brakes were very pricey when new
You do have option, you can grab a micrometer and measure the thickness of your rotors. If they are with in spec to be cut, have a machine shop put them on a lathe and cut them. If they are not, you can remove the whole front end set up, buy a used setup off junkyard for cheap. Sell the old fsport brakes system on ebay. If not mistaken that kit new was around 3-$6,000. So im pretty sure you should have a problem selling, repairing your brakes and making a profit at the end.
