Overview
The Baer Brakes 533056-220 is a pair of rear performance rotors for the 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler JL, sized for 328 mm rear rotors with brake code Bry. The rotors use a slot-only friction face that lets gas and dust escape from between the pad and rotor during braking, with a zinc-plated finish that shows through open-center wheels.
The design supports a more consistent pedal feel and reduced brake fade. The set is rotors only, and its zinc finish is designed to pair with Baer’s 6T Truck and OffRoad front brake kits.
Key features
- Slot-only friction surface vents gas and dust away from the pad face.
- Zinc-plated finish for a bright look behind open-center wheels.
- Premium, mill balanced direct replacement rotor design.
- Solid drum-in-hat rotor with one-piece full cast cast iron construction.
- Rust resistant coating on the zinc-plated surface.
- Designed to match the slot and zinc finish of Baer 6T Truck and OffRoad front kits.
Pairing rotors with pads
Rotors and pads work as a matched system, so the rotor face and pad compound should be chosen together. A slotted face like this one can help clear gas and debris from the pad surface, but the pad material still determines bite, noise and how quickly the surface wears. Choosing pads suited to the rotor’s intended use keeps braking behavior predictable.
Rear rotors on lifted or heavier Wrangler builds often wear faster than stock, especially when towing or running frequent steep descents. Inspect the friction surface for scoring, heat cracks and a lip at the outer edge, and measure thickness against the discard thickness for this rotor before the wear limit is reached. Replacing rotors and pads together, with fresh brake lubricant where the caliper slides call for it, helps new parts seat evenly.
- Check rotor thickness against the discard limit at every pad change
- Look for blue discoloration or heat checking after hard use
- Replace pads and rotors as a set to avoid uneven wear
- Clean the hat and hub mating surfaces before installing

Vehicle fitment
Baer lists these rear rotors for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK and the 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler JL, on the rear axle, with the qualifier of a 328 mm rear rotor and brake code Bry.
Only the 2018 JK entry appears in the list for the JK, so other Wrangler JK years are not shown. Rotors for vehicles without the Bry brake code or 328 mm rear diameter are outside the qualifier. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Check the rear rotor diameter and brake code before fitting, because the qualifier calls out 328 mm rotors with brake code Bry. Brake lubricant is not included. Brake work changes stopping behavior, so test the brakes at low speed before normal driving.
What’s included
A pair of direct replacement rear rotors.
Not included: brake lubricant, ABS tone ring, and pads.
