78.3mm would be the size of the center bore hole on the 4x4 wheel and I need 87mm... I thought about buying some Cragers or something like that to slap on the back... I'm hoping the salvage yard had a pair of steelies that will fit. The spacers where to make my other wheels fit that were not made for the axle.

I did call a newer salvage yard called LPQ? LQK? Some chain and asked them if they ever came across wheel spacers (The have to end up somewhere) and I the number connected me to Houston and the customer service rep was a ditz who had no idea of what a wheel spacer is. So, I learned that it's probably better to shop locally for parts first before you hit them fancy salvage yards.

Whoda thunk that wheels would be so much of a hassle?
