Can someone please provide me with the correct rotor thickness for a rear on a 1985 v6. Not the overall but the thickness between the brake pads, I think I have been shipped the wrong ones. Thank you!

Discard thickness is 11.4mm/0.450"
I don't have a new thickness spec in front of me. Probably somewhere near 0.550" or 0.600".

See my Cave, Brake Rotors Spec New rotors are bit thicker than PDF as noted on the page...
But...
New rotors and/or pads won't fit is often bad rear pistons. If you can't compress the piston in relatively easy then piston is F'd. A Good clamp should only need finger force to compress the piston. See my Cave, Clamp Method notes
