I have Wheelsmith 16x6 smoothies with 3.5" backspace on my 1950 3100. I am extremely happy with the wheels. Top quality. If I were ordering again, Id order 5" rims instead to be closer to the original size.

The original wheels had 3" backspace and 0" offset. 4" backspace might interfere with steering components.
