This is one part I'd get at the dealer. The parts warehouses all use computers that show cross-references (multi-applications) for many parts, but often are not.

A few mm smaller, and you can have excess wear on the bearings in the compressor, alternator, waterpump and idler/tensioner pulleys. That could make this a false economy. The dealers all have them in stock - $30 from my dealer (w/PCA discount).
