I think you have your labels reversed.
The top one is a late style w/more clearance for ea82 calipers.I have a set of both.
Late wheels fit early cars,but,early wheels don`t clear ea82 calipers.
I do not know what size spacer you need.
Didn`t someone grind calipers for early wheel clearance on a late car?
Ah. OK. That makes sense that more clearance would be "Late".
Is a 1987 DL Wagon is "late" in this context?

I have a 1987 DL Wagon with the steel wheels. I want to put some white spokes on it. I remember from prior research that there were white spokes available for the EA-82 cars, and that they fit later cars, but not the other way around.
I bought some wheels off ebay and seem to have 3 late and 1 early. I looked at the rest of the wheels the guy has for sale and it looks like including the one early wheel I have he has a grand total of 3. SAD.
I assume I'll need spacers. So I don't have to guess, anyone know what values I'd have to put in on this page? https://www.uswheeladapters.com/shop/custom-4-lug-wheel-spacers/
Also, is the difference even noticeable? I was thinking of just getting another "late" style so they match.

OK, so if I get one more of the ones with the sharper curve, I can run two of those on the front, and two of the ones with the flatter curve on the back? I guess I wouldn't be able to rotate the tires but that's fine.
There is a pretty big difference in backspacing. The (what I now know are) late rims have more backspace.
