Clearing 235/75 on rally wheels

Hello guys and gals. I'm currently running stock aluminum wheels (94-98) on my 87 and the tire clears fine. I'm wondering if I would have a problem if I were to run 235/75 with the stock rally wheels. I've noticed that the rally wheels have a different offset compared to the aluminum that I'm running now. Is anybody running rally wheels with 235/75 with 5/5 drop without issues? Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys, Eric I don't mind some rubbing on the inner top fenders every now and then, so that ends my worries. My worry was the tire going against the sharp edge against the fender and slashing the side of the tire. Looks like you're good. Thanks for the pictures!
