On my 76 and 77 broncos I have 3 3/4” and clears by about 1/4”

i have a 77 and i'd say 3.5" BS is the minimum

When I had Ø15" wheels on my '77, they had a 3.75" BS and maintained a little less than 1/4" clearance between the wheel and tie-rod, so I would say that's going to be the maximum allowable BS, but there is no minimum BS since you can run as little as you like.

Has anyone had issues with weights on the inside of the stock wheel not clearing the tie rods?

that is exactly why i'd recommend 3.5" bs. i tested fitted a 15" wheel with 3.63" BS and it cleared the wheel weights by 2mm... too close for comfort for me
