Safest way..............bigger truck
You can either get wheel spacers or new Rims with less back spacing.
Neither is dangerous.
Good read here in what back spacing is on a rim/wheel: The Ford Ranger/Bronco II Wheel Fitment Guide To Measuring Wheels
So the less back spacing the farther out the wheel/tire sit
People that get wider and larger tires often need to use spacers or rims with less back spacing so front tires don't rub when turning
Good thing to do is to jack up one wheel by the axle so it is barely off the ground, remove the wheel and then space it out an inch to see what it looks like as far as the body line, then 2" space
