Yea I double checked that and had taken into account outer and inner pad differences. Should have taken pics... If I hold the old pad surface to the new pad surface, then the new pad surface is wider by several mm's.

Went to Autozone and picked up Duralast Max/Brake Pads - Front, Part No. DGC436 to change on my 2002 SR5 Sport 2wd.
