Default New Brakes @ 20K & What Size Rotors

Can't believe I got less than 20K out of my brake pads. They are down to the metal.

Anyway, how can I tell what size rotors I have for new pads?

2018 S90 T5 AWD Momentum with 19" Wheels.

Can be an issue - 2 sizes are listed for my '15 V60 and Volvo was of no help translating the VIN into the proper fitment - remove wheel and measure. Strongly recommend Akebono Eurosport pads if they are available for that model and use with Brembo rotors.

I believe either the FCP or IPD web site has a printable template to measure your rotor size. Many rotors also have the size stamped on the outer edge which you can look for. should be listed in mm

For anyone looking for this info, the size is stamped right on the brake caliper. If you have narrow spokes/large openings on the wheel, you can see it using a small mirror, without taking the wheel off.

wheel size doesn't project to the rotor size. good tip on looking for the stamping on the caliper carrier.

yes, but if you have a 2018 T5 with the 19” wheel option, it’s pretty safe to say they are 322MM like mine.
