Default quick Q...abs brake rotors on non abs car

I just got some front rotors in today and accidently got ABS rotors instead of non. They fit fine and the calier fits up too. The only thing is the pads were kinda touching but I didnt fully disengage the brakes(was kinda in a rush). I was told by a friend that they are different sizes but I dont have the original rotor to campare to. Can I run them safely or should I exchange em?

BTW Car is 95 EG6 SI

Rotors have nothing to do with ABS. Like dogg said, the rotor is 10.3". Your Si should have ABS in order for the rotor and calipers to fit together.

Pads are supposed to lightly touch the rotors for future reference.

Because the "ABS" rotors are 10.3" that come on the EX or Si ABS, while the "non ABS" rotors are 9.5" which come on the DX, LX, CX, VX, and Si.
