I'm looking for some white, steel wheels for my 76 Bronco. I haven't seen a lot of options. I need a 15x8 and the main concern I have is that they have a backspacing that will work. Any leads or ideas will be greatly appreciated.:)

I just want the wheels to fit with the front brakes on the 76 Bronco.

I have 2 76 and 2 77 Broncos.
Custom wheels are tough.
3.75 backspace wheels won't fit.

I tried off some 8 inch wide spokes and they looked ridiculous because they stuck out so far. Don't know the back spacing but can measure them if you want.

Even the '80's and '90's factory spoke style 7 and 8 inch wheels don't fit.

But if I use a 1/4 or 1/2 inch spacer they will.....right?

If I use spacers on the front, don't I need to use spacers in the rear to get them to match up?

Thanks. I've checked them out. I wonder about that 3.75 backspacing though. They have another set at Summit with a 2.5" backspacing, but that doesn't seem right.

here's my rig with those wheels, 2.5" BS:

Here's my 76 with the factory spokes and 3/8 spacers in the front/ With 1/4 the weights still hit.

Now the backs look too tucked in.
