steel rims question for 2 series

i had a brand new set of studded winter with only 3000 miles (205 55 16)
i bought a set of bmw 16" steel rims 5x120 (came off a 3 series) and had them mounted
they fit perfectly on the hub centric rings and bolts right up but when tightened I'm hitting off the callipers

not much but enough to grind

do you guys think i should give up on these and try and sell them or would a set of spacers work wonders?

5 mm ? 10mm?

228 or 235? What brakes do you have?

Think most folks have gone down to 17" but at least for 235 don't think the 16" will work.
