title: How to align 3 columns with max-widths in the center of row using bootstrap3?
body: <p>I'm not sure how to move forward with this problem. I'm trying to simply align 3 columns that have explicit max-widths in the center of a row. Here's my code, and I'm using bootstrap3:</p>
  
  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" /&gt;
  
  &lt;div class="container-fluid"&gt;
    &lt;div class="row"&gt;
  
      &lt;div class="col-sm-2"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  
      &lt;div class="col-sm-3"&gt;
        &lt;h4&gt;box 1&lt;/h4&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;some text dfgdfgdfgdfg&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
  
      &lt;div class="col-sm-3"&gt;
        &lt;h4&gt;box 2&lt;/h4&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;some text dfgdfgdfgdfg&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
  
      &lt;div class="col-sm-3"&gt;
        &lt;h4&gt;box 3&lt;/h4&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;some text dfgdfgdfgdfg&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
  
      &lt;div class="col-sm-1"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
      
    &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;</code></pre>
  </div>
  </div>
  </p>
  
  <p>If I didn't have explicit max-widths, then the problem isn't <em>as</em> difficult since the width is always responsive, and I could just leave those empty column placeholders. In any case, I do need to have the max-width in place.</p>
