If you got them from Autozone, then you have run into the same issue I did about 8-9 yrs ago. I wound up going to Advanced Auto and getting them there. I think I wound up with the Wagners (they were out of Okebono), but here's a link to reference for the auto store you have out there... https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/c3...cZ3MLtMg%3D%3D

Same thing with rock auto, but for $9 for ceramics I wasn't going to complain. It appears there are cars that use the same caliper, but use slightly thinner rotors. I just chamfered the inside edge of the pads with a grinder and the were able to just slide over the rotor and the rotor rotated freely, so I went with them.
