Will the 15" mid 80s Bronco/f150, 8", Steel Wagon wheels clear the 76-77 front knuckles?

If not, will spacers make it work? How wide?

Please show pictures if you have em installed. Have cut Fenders and would like to do a 2 1/2" SL with 32-33s on this 8" steel wheel. Have the OEM center caps and rings as well.

Thanks

I think the wheels you are talking about have the same spacing as these F150, full size Bronco aluminum stock wheels that I used to run. I had to use a 1/4" spacer in the front to make them fit on the 77. I think I had 1/8 of an inch clearance of the knuckles with the spacer.
I am not running these wheels any longer and went with 17" wheels.

I usually go with the 17s as well, but I have a nice set of the 15" steelies with caps and rings. So, I thought of using these instead.

Pictures are helpful. Thanks

I put wheels from a previously owned '81 Bronco I use to own onto my '73.
