they look wider too but im sure its easier for u to tell me than for me to go pull the caliper & look @ the pad.

About 2.25" x 5.25"
More rotor surface is covered however piston area is the same so overall clamping force remains the same as the smaller pad. About 15%+ longer life however. And some other bennies along with that.

Thanks a lot.
