2015 Chevy Malibu Rotor Sizes
The rotor sizes for the 2015 Chevy Malibu vary for the front and rear wheels. For the front, the sizes are 296mm and 321mm OD, while for the rear, the sizes are 292mm and 315mm OD.
The front rotor sizes are further specified as 355mm x 71mm x 377mm for the larger size, and the rear rotor sizes are mentioned as 10.630 inches in diameter.
It’s important to ensure the correct size when replacing the rotors for optimal performance.

What size rotors are on a 2014 Malibu?
Brakes
| Type: | four-wheel disc w/ABS (w/ESC) |
|---|---|
| Brake rotor diameter – front (in/mm): | 11.7/297 vented; single-piston, cast iron caliper |
| Brake rotor diameter – rear (in/mm): | 11.5/292 solid; single-piston, aluminum caliper |
Are front and rear rotors the same size?
It’s very rare these days that the front and rear rotors are the same, it happens, but it’s the rare exception. Most modern cars, trucks and SUVs use a larger and thicker rotor diameter on the front of the vehicle to allow for quicker and safer braking and to absorb the heat from the brake pads.
Are rotors one size fits all?
These sizes are not interchangeable, and you must get the right one to fit on your car. Particular rotors size may depend on your trim (sub-model), vehicle’s country of origin, sports/performance package, transmission type, engine size, and numerous other options.
How do you know if rotors will fit?
Measure the Diameter of the Used Rotor
You can also determine the size of rotor you will need for your vehicle by measuring the diameter of the used rotor. This method can provide a fairly accurate starting point.
How can I tell what size my rotors are?
Check the rotor
Often the brake rotor size will be printed on it! Spin your wheel around and look at the brake rotor – in most cases, the size is stamped onto it!
Does the size of the rotor matter?
The bigger the disc rotor, the more heat can be absorbed before it overheats and braking power starts to drop (or fade, to use the correct term). Generally speaking, the bigger the rotor, the better the braking performance will be.
Are there different size rotors?
many cars use the same sized brake rotors, but there are still many different geometries. the auto shop will know what fits your car, or you can look them up by specs if you know what they are..
Can you use different size rotors?
The thickness of the rotor should not affect the braking force. Nothing about the thickness of the rotor affects any of the factors involved. There is going to be slightly less mass, which affects cooling, but there should theoretically be no difference in the amount of stopping power.
What is the best rotor size?
In many cases, it’s about finding the balance between power, brake feel and weight. As a general rule, road and cyclocross rotors sit in the 140 to 160mm range, striking a balance between necessary braking power and low weight. Modern mountain bike brakes often come specced with rotors ranging from 180 to 220mm.
How do I find the rotor size on a VIN number?
A vehicles rotor size is not identified in the vehicle VIN. I recommend you contact an auto parts store, provide them the year, make, and model of the vehicle and they will be able to provide you the rotor size.
