The size of your current rotors are not indicative of the rotors you can replace them with. The Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R35DS has 10" rotors but in order for the kit to work you only need to ensure you have a 4-bolt brake mounting flange, #84 spindles, as well as wheels that have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and are at least 14" in diameter.
