I did the same thing. I ordered the fronts for my rears and they work fine.
One thing you need to do is to cut a small section off of the mud flaps to
clear the lower bolt that holds the flare on. I just used a dremel and it
looks great. One thing to tell you is that the flaps fit great back there
but does have a slight (hair line) gap. NOT BAD AT ALL. Good luck

BTW I also painted mine but yellow. looks great to!

The molded ones for trucks w/ flares are different for the front and back.
However if you have a 2WD (like me), and you do hauling of any weight, get 2
sets of FRONT mud flaps. The molded flaps are designed for 4WD Dakotas and
Durango's and the rear ones are 3 or 4 inches longer. I put a set on my 2WD
and I'm always draging the rear flaps on speed bumps and on the road with
weight in the back. I bought another front set but have yet to install them.
Also, get a silver Testors paint pen and paint the stamped-in rams head. It
looks great!
