You will need spacers. Without they will hit the tie rod ends.

If I recall correctly "solid axle" back spacing is 3.5" and IFS back spacing is 4.25" which those wheels are.

Thanks for the reply . I’m going to see what’s on there and see if I can at least run a smaller spacer

After firing up the "grey matter" Intel processor I had a few more thoughts.

Maybe 16" rims or bigger would work with that back spacing (4.25") 15" definitely not. With a 15" the tie rod is less than little finger feeler gauge width from the bead area of the rim...just checked on mine. Also be mindful of the brake hose/line and bracket. Also clearance between the tire and the springs at full steering lock/stop.
