I don't know about the safety or potential problems, but I do know that your truck looks awesome as-is. I wouldn't change a thing about it. Actually, you've got me reconsidering whether or not to spring for new rims/tires instead of just tires. Your setup is perfect now.

As far as safety is concerned its a yes and no answer. If you get the wheel spacers that bolt up to your current lugs then you bolt your rim to the spacer you will be fine. I've seen these go for years on mustangs putting down 400 rear wheel horsepower.
If you get the spacers that just slide over your current lugs and push your wheel out these can be very dangerous. I've seen these cause lugs to snap.
But as the other guys said your truck looks great.
