I'm eyeballing some 15x7 chrome smoothies right now. The backspace is 4 1/8". Is that an issue? Also, any worries about the lack of venting on smoothies? I have the original brake, suspension and axle set-up.

I'm also considering some 16x7 chrome smoothies. I have some almost-new tires that would fit those stored in the shed. Just need to de-stud them first.

Chrome is alway good. I prefer dark colored truck . . .

Pull a wheel and measure your current backspace and figure from there.

have fun, measure carefully!

You could run into clearance problems with 4 1/8 backspace especially on the front. Measure the backspace on some wheels you already have as Pantera Boy suggested to see if the additional backspace will clear suspension parts. Venting should not be an issue.
