Sounds like you ARE getting rotors for 6-lug wheels that fit on the spindles you are getting? (Kinda unusual is why I asked.)

Why don't you call the wheel company and at least find out what the back-spacing msmt. is? After your discs/rotors are on, you should be able to "borrow" a wheel locally with similar msmt. to test before ordering. The 7-inch width they state is common on lots of 6-lug rallys like go on the 80'ish 4wd--not all these rally's are 7", as vans(mostly 5-lugs) had similar ones with 6.5", and some 4wd had 8".
