Unless they are the old style with the true "D" they will need spacers.
The new TT2's will also fit.

I used older Appliance wheels that fit w/o spacers. Mine are also 3.75 back spacing but I have 15x7 wheels. Did not think the back spacing and 8.5 width would fit w/o rubbing the fenders.
Hope this helps.

You will probably need a 1/8" spacer for front calipers. I would go with 16X8 inch TTII wheels instead of the 15 inch for better tire selection (235-60/16 to 255-50/16 will fit well.)
