I have a 1975 Bronco with a 1.5” suspension lift and a 2’ body lift. I’m looking at wheels I like that are 17x8.5 and have a 0 offset. Can someone tell me if these will fit without rubbing?

Fenders are uncut. Tires will be either 33 or 35. Haven’t decided on that just yet

I'm pretty sure that 33-35" tires on 8.5" wheels on an uncut Bronco with 3.5" total lift will be a problem. Tires are a bit tall and the wheels too wide for uncut fenders.

Here's what 31" on 7" wheels looks like with 3.5" lift uncut.
