I share Mark's concerns unless you buy a quality set of spacers made for the specific application, like these:

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
