    I don't know if spacers would clear the brakes since the inner wheel diameter is the issue not the center portion of the wheel. The spacer would push out 16mm or 20mm but you'd still have the clearance issue.
    Spacers also reduce the number of thread turns to tighten the wheel which is what I call wheel bite. I've run spacers on a 1994 300Zx TT but I wanted wheels with different offsets.

    Also I can't see the wheel picture, try reloading or load a link to the wheel pic. That may help since some wheels may not work but most BMW wheels are interchangeable.
