It took a little trial & error on both sides until we got it right. But we got it! So, no need for spacers anymore. I went back to check & noticed that I used 4.5" backspacing on the front wheels, per suggestion of an unnamed reputable truck source of another forum. While they did work with a little trimming, I guess a bit less backspacing would've yielded less headache.
At least you didn't have to buy spacers!

Can't wait to see the smoothies on!
