Need some help with R-15 wheels!!!!

Hey everyone I have not been on here in a long time. I need some help with the Ronal R-15 "firehawk" wheels. I purchased a set with the spacers and lug nuts but when I put the front ones on they are hitting the strut and the tie rod end. I thought the spacers were to take care of any clearance issues with these wheels? on the spacer is stamped 074 082 d=7mm 003 0022 205 here are some pictures of them and please if anyone knows if they are the right ones let me know! Also they are 1/4 inch thick, should they be 3/8 inch thick? It seems that I only need another 1/8 inch to clear everything! They are going on a 1985 Trans Am WS6, all suspension is stock along with the breaks. in advance!

Mine came from SLP w/out spacers so I had to buy them.

On my 83TA one side cleared w/out a spacer and the right side tie rod touched.

I ended up putting a 5/16 spacer on both sides and that fixed the clearence problem.
