if the hubs are the same size there should be no problems at all .. funny that
Hub flanges same size?Are the spokes on the front and rear the same length? (might be hard for you to tell as you've laced the rear). You might have had a different lacing pattern on the front (2x 3x or radial?). Have you got a pic of them before you delaced them?

Someone may be able to confirm it?
Sounds like you're 1 hole out on the other side bud. Strip them from the second side and re-lace from scratch moving one hole forwards or backwards?
i think yoiu need 186 for them really .the hub diameter will be different from front to back hubs hence the shortage .
Try this link bro http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=241229It might help ya
The thing is it is very hard for people to tell you what spoke size to use. I have now laced 100's of wheels (I also wrote the how to guide on here) and I always use a spoke calculator as that is the only way to know 100% what size spokes to use.You will need to take measurements of both hubs as lots of rear hubs have different measurements than the front. Also you need to measure the ERD (as x-600se mentioned).I have built so many wheels where the front uses 182mm and the rear 188mm.
Buy yourself one of these:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/6-Inch-150-MM-Digital-Vernier-Caliper-Carbon-Fibre-/300539288266?pt=UK_Measuring_Tools_Levels&hash=item45f9899acaHave a look here for the calculator:http://www.wheelpro.co.uk/spokecalc/And here for the A,B,C,D etc help:http://www.wheelpro.co.uk/spokecalc/help2.html - edit - see the 'help' button on that page (will show you how to measure all the A,B,C etc) - linky doesn't take you to it for some reason.....And then google your rim name/tpye and 'ERD'
