But you still need to have your own measurements.
No matter what wheel company you buy from.
And you need to check those numbers right out of the box when you get them.
Once you mount them. You own them.

I had a buddy years ago, that bought some Billet Specialties wheels with sizes told to him by a friend. They were 1" off on the back spacing. Expensive mistake.
Since then we always measure for our own wheels.

Sorry you had to cut and roll your fender lips for no reason.
Anytime we are building and modifying any vehicle we measure 10 times and order once, but this being a stock vehicle that has only been lowered, and the vendor claiming to be a C10 expert who attends many of the truck shows and pushes the wheels in the truck market I did make the mistake of believing him when he was insistent and confident that "this size wheel, this backspace and this size tire is what you need, we do it all the time" so my fault for believing him......but any reputable vendor would have the decency to call back and try to make the situation right!
