I share Mark's concerns unless you buy a quality set of spacers made for the specific application, like these: http://www.wheeladapter.com/wheel_spacers.php

Using these you don't lose the hub-centric mounting advantages. I am betting though if the "new wheels" have a smaller hub than the existing truck hub that the spacers would have to be thicker than a 1/4".

With the cheap spacers like these http://www.jegs.com/i/Mr.+Gasket/720/2376/10002/-1 you loose the hubcentric advantages.
