Default Rear Rotors on 1.8T: two sizes? which one?

I am in the market for rear rotors for my 2003 A4 1.8T sport package. I saw that the Zimmerman rotors with my Hawk HPS rear pads will work fine.

On ECS Tuning website below, it says I need to know the size of my rotors:

- "Please note your stock rotor size, 1.8T models came with both 245mm & 255mm rear rotors"

Anyone know what size it uses?

While you can't be certain without part number or measuring, your model is 245mm I'm quite sure.
255mm was on models >2005 for 1.8t and then on all B7's.

I "upgraded" to 255mm from 245mm on my 2004.5 1.8t
Doesn't seem like much, but 10mm here and 10mm there is more than it was before, lol.

Can you just upgrade to 255mm rotors without changing anything else?
