Hi,
A friend of mine purchased rotors from a parts store. They did not
fit because of the center hub. Was a little higher .After installing
the rotor then the tire. After trying to spin the tire- it made a
squealing sound. He returned to the rotors back and got a second set
of rotors.They worked. So bring a rotor so the parts store can match
up the height of the oem rotor.
This will save some time.
Good Luck.

I think you'll find that rotors are considered "consumables" by most
manufacturers/dealers.

Yes, and Jeep won't warranty them past 12k miles, which is total BS.
Rotors should have a MUCH longer life span under normal driving
conditions. Many of these composite rotors are being REPLACED within or
under that mileage. If you drive a TJ or XJ, there is no recall as of
yet. The Grands have a recall, however.
