brake size?

Bought everything to do my rear brakes today.Got the 11x2 1/4 brakes cause I thought the heavy duty option would warrant that size. Well I got home and think im wrong they look like 11x2 and can't remember from the last time I worked on them. Can I use the new drums and shoes or should I return them?

Re: brake size?

look at your glove box sticker and see which brakes you have. but since you already got the parts and they are wrong, you most likley know what brakes you have now.
