Brake size?

I've searched searched and cannot find the answer to such a simple question.
What size front brakes are on an 8th gen corolla?

Rotors are 255mm in diameter and nominally 22mm thick.

That's roughly a 10 inch rotor.

Can you clue us in as to where this is going?

Haha nothing in particular for now. Wouldn't mind an upgrade but just researching before I ask redundant questions. Lol I honestly couldn't find the size info. I know my xrs has 10.9's

And probably won't change anything. I live my mini blades too much. There's no room for an increase in rotor size lol

I found a big brake kit one time (don't remember where) but it was like $1200 and to me not worth it. Instead, I upgrade to EBC slotted/dimpled rotors and Hawk HPS pads which is a vast improvement over the factory set up.

I also converted my rear brake to disks, but that's another story.
