New here and new owner with rim offset question

[BUCKYBRONCO2021]

Hi all. New to the forum as well as the Bronco life. have a 2021 Outer Banks. Doesn't appear to have a lift. I bought the truck a few weeks ago and love it. My issue is really a safety concern. When i bought the truck i absolutely loved the stance. Upon closer inspection i see the crash bars removed, and the 35x12.5x18 tires are shoehorned onto the stock 7.5 inch rims. I also see the previous owner used a set of 1.5 inch Bora hub centric spacers. Attached is a picture of how the truck currently sits. The combination has me uncomfortable to drive the truck at higher speed. Currently by my calculations this combination +55mm stock wheel offset minus 40 mm for the spacer= +15mm offset currently. Correct me if I'm wrong there. I'm looking for a cost effective, yet safe rim to fit the tire as well as look decent. I'm looking at these with a +12mm offset. https://www.amazon.com/RockTrix-Compatible-Ranger-Wheels-6x139-7/dp/B0CHXSKRY7?th=1
Given my current set up it sounds like these will allow me to get rid of the spacer and the wheel will only be sticking out 3mm more. Am i correct in this? I'm looking for guidance and advice so if you know please share. I appreciate it and look forward to being an active member on here. Have a great day all!

You're calculations are correct...only 3mm difference. Your current hub centric spacers aren't un-safe but the correct wheel offset definitely preferred.

Thank you very much for responding. Whew I'm glad my math checks out. Never was my strong suit haha. I agree the spacers alone would have been live with-able but the combo of the tires on the smaller rims with them is just too many variables for me. I want to simplify. Plus i cant guarantee everything is torqued right so I'm going through the vehicle, getting acquainted and make sure everything is right and tight. next step after that is getting this stupid recall for the 2.7 valve thing checked out. Hoping i don't have to deal with that. Thanks again!
