Yes the D35 is wider, but IIRC its only about 1" wider. RBV's also already have a wider track in the front than rear. If it bothers you that much, get an Ex 8.8 to make it close, or get wheels with different backspace.

I'm pretty sure it's 1.5" wider per side.

Pretty sure it's 1.5" total. 3/4" per side. It is noticable but why are you concerned? Shouldn't be anything to be worried about.

Also remember if your bronco2 was a 1990 produced after November of 1989 it would already have a D35 front axle, so any "handling" worries you might have are something you can forget.
