Default disk brake rotor dimensions for C3's ???

My brake supplier lists different numbers for front and rear and gave me the differences.
Except for the e-brake hat, why would one be .01" bigger diameter?

Front Rotor
Outer Dia: 11.74’’
Height: 3.08’’
Nom Thick: 1.25’’
Min Thick: 1.22’’
Hub Reg: 2.81’’
Bolt Size: .46’’
Bolt Circle: 5x4.75’’

Rear Rotor
Outer Dia: 11.75’’
Height: 3.08’’
Nom Thick: 1.25’’
Min Thick: 1.21’’
Hub Reg: 2.81’’
Bolt Size: .46’’
Bolt Circle: 5x4.75’’

Are these the ones I need and are there any professional comments or suggestions?
Thanks in advance guys,

My GM Spec book says 11.75"x1.25" front and rear.
Front/rear refinish thickness=1.230"
Front/rear Trash it dimension=1.215"

Front and rear are the same dimensions.

The difference is .1 inch offset from front to back. If you get them wrong, the caliper will rub against the rotor.
