Default wheel spacers!! HELP!

Okay so I needed new tires for winter found a good price on some used tires and new rims for my 95 6.5 2wd and I'm having an issue...I stock on my truck have the steel rims. The ones I purchased are the aluminium /alloyrims you find on the 4wd trucks...so my issue is that the new rims on my front two tires sit like right on top of the brake and calipers. And scrapes. Wondering if anyone has ever done this switch of rims and if they used wheel spacers or wheel adapters? Pros and cons? Or if I should just put my new rubber on my original rims?

I would have the rubber put on the proven original rims or find another set of steel wheels and sell the aluminum ones.

Well my old rubber and the new rims will go back to the guy I bought them from. I just really pike the rims and would like to see them work on my vehicle. Otherwise these rims will just. Be sitting
