Z51 Brake Rotor Size VS Base Brakes

Can someone tell me the size of the brake rotors on base brakes and Z51 brakes? I know they are different and have seen the sizes here before but I can't seem to find it. Thanks Tom

Thanks Boomer111.

I have drilled and slotted on my 07 Monterry Coupe. The rear just leave too much open space in the barrel - don't want to spend the mony for Baer, etc. I have the Z51 brackets on order and will put the 13" rear rotors on - should look much better. Thanks. Tom
