Default Different size rotors on rear?

Hi all so I came across an issue on my car the other day when I went in to replace the rear rotors. I had ordered stoptech slotted rotors for front and back, the front was a breeze but when I attempted to install the rear rotors the dust plate would scrape the new rotor. When I did a comparison I found the old rotors we're about 1/4" to 1/2" smaller than the new replacement ones. But the problem isn't the new replacement rotors from all the research I've done the are the correct 11.45" diameter, my current rotors seem to be too small. I did by the car with a salvage title so is it possible it has some sort of Frankenstein rear suspension in the back? Also the sales person told me the VIN number shows I have the sports suspension package on my base model 2013 is250, not sure if theres a different rotor for that but I can't find any info. So if anyone can help shed some light on the issue it would me greatly appreciated. Thanks

There are 2 sizes of rear rotor for the ISx50, 11.5" solid or 12.2" vented.

2006-2010 IS250 sedans all use the 11.5" solid rear rotors.
2006-2013 IS350 sedans all use the 12.2" vented rear rotors.
2010-2015 IS250C/IS350C all use the 12.2" vented rear rotors.
2011-2013 IS250 sedans without Sport package use the 11.5" solid rear rotors.
2011-2013 IS250 sedans with Sport package use the 12.2" vented rear rotors.

Hope that helps.

If your rotors on the car are less than 11.5" in diameter, I have no idea what's going on.
