Look at the pic , the vented one is thicker , the vented name comes from the vents in the middle , the centre of the discs are the same for both discs

The solid discs will de a direct replacement , if you want to fit the vented ones you need to change the calipers to vented ones which are wider to accomodate the thicher discs
