Should be the same as yours if you have the same wheels...

yeah like f8tl posted, i had to cut the caliper bracket AND use the 5/16" spacer...fits fine now...i have the 3.5" welds

I think the centerline and the jegs only come in 4" wide w/ a 1.75 backspacing. Welds come in a few different backspacing sizes.

And yeah, why are you getting upset about this?
