Be prepared because even 7" wheels sometimes get close enough that it requires a little clearance work on those porky a-arm gutters. The OE disc brake 6" wheels are usually the ones that clear w/o issue. Aftermarket 7" wheels w/spec'd back spacing should be good.
Thats my thinking - mabve add about a 1 1/2" BS with the 7" wheel should solve my issues.
