Tire/wheel size question

On my 1979 F150 4x4 I am running Ford stock chrome wheels 15x6 5 lug with tires new tires 235/75/15.

I am looking a buying a set of Ford factory white spoke wagon wheels that are 15x8 5lug.

I just spent a small fortune in these new tires, will the 235/75/15 fit on the
15x8 ford wheels ? Are there any concerns I should be aware of?

I don't really want a wider tire, I just want the white spoke ford wheel with the black center caps. I can not find any of these white wheels that are 15x6but found a great set of 15x8.

Need these questions answered form someone with knowledge and experience, Thanks

They will fit, the old chevy rally wheels were 8" and I remember mounting that size tire on them when I worked for Goodyear.
