Looking to swap the original rims for a set of wheels such as American Racing Smoothies. Does anyone know what size wheel/backspacing will fit the 55 Roadmaster? It is a 5-5 pattern, but I cannot find the backspacing/offset specs. Any help and/or suggestions will be appreciated!

One of the major problems with a rim swap ,is that the center hole in the 55 is bigger than most after market wheels. Be very careful what you put on.
