I called my dealership before I placed my order yesterday, gave them my VIN, and he said they were 282mm. I know some of the earlier models in 2010 were 286mm, then 282mm for some later 2010's, then 272mm for 2011+. I researched it forever because I couldn't even find 286mm rotors online.mikeydubs, you definitely need to call and get the correct rear rotors.

Luckily I have a guy doing the job for me who's gonna charge me $50 per axle. I don't have some of those tools, and he's a mechanic for the police, so I'll leave it to him! I wouldn't mind watching so I could do it on my own in the future once I get some of the proper tools (triple squares, brake piston tool).
Hey mikeydubs, do you know if you have the Bosch calipers/pads? Trying to figure out if that is the difference.
Cheers
I double checked and they did have two different part numbers for the rear rotors on 2010 GTI's. I guess it's one of those things car manufacturers do during the year.....change vendors and parts.
Hopefully, your mechanic has all those tools I mentioned above. Without them, it can be difficult to finish.
