Question 300mm Caliper = 300mm Rotors???

2010 V50
I'm trying to verify my rotor size to order new brakes for my V50. I can see "300" clearly stamped on the RH caliper. Can I assume this is the brake size??

TIA

better to use your model and VIN to verify the fit or simply measure. If your model is the 2.4i then its likely you have the 300mm (11.8") rotors. Check some of the web friendly mail order parts places to see if there are any serial number dependencies. I like to use FCP and Tasca Parts (for dealer parts) since they are both here in the northeast, but there's also some good Volvo friendly shops out west like IPD USA and AZAutohaus. You can even call a dealer to ask for a quote and the OEM part number.

I've been using eeuroparts so far. I was trying verify w/out removing the wheel - this may not be the best way. I should have specified, this is the 2.4i FWD U.S. model.
