Red face differences in 17" wheel break dust cover vs 18" wheel

Hello everyone I bought a 2003 350z touring with 120k miles on it. When I bought the car It had 18" after market wheels, and do to a small mishap I had to replace all four wheels with the original 17" wheels. The problem is that now I also have to change the rear left brake dust cover because it was damaged as well. I searched online for the plate, but I found it confusing because there was options for 17" and 18". Are the plates and rotors different sizes (17" vs 18" wheels)? Now i'm not sure which brake dust cover will fit around my rotor is there a certain diameter or how will I find out which one it is. The 17" wheels look a little small for the rear drum which leads me to believe that they are for and 18" wheel, but when I look at the front wheels it is flush with the rotor which is where it throws me off someone plz help me I don't want to spend 100$ take the car apart to find that it doesn't fit the rotor, then put the car back together and go through the hassle of getting it shipped back. Thank you in advance.

Touring model, you have standard brakes. The only difference is if you have Brembo or if you had an 06 and newer with base brakes.

Just order the 03 for 17's and you will be fine , or just trim the dust cover down flush with the hub.
