Use aluminum spacers or rebore bolt pattern of the spindles/rotors? 200 1987

Hi

I was offered a good price for a brand new set of 5, 14" x 6.5" Minilite wheels. Unfortuntely the PCD is for a BMW (seller is not also sure). These are the insciptions stamped on the back of the wheel 340 - S Z and H294322. Can anyway decipher these codes?

These are my concerns if I decide to pursue this project. Assuming that these wheels are for a BMW and are Rear Wheel Driven vehicles:

1. Can I use aluminum spacers (1") embedded with a set of new stud bolts to correct the PCD? Will there still be ample space to avoid tire rubbing against the inner and outer fender wells considering the wheel width is 6.5"?

2. If No. 1 is no good, is it advisable to have the spindle/rotor stud bolts relocated to align the new wheels? Is there ample space in between the original location of the stud bolt mounting to do the conversion? Given this choice, I think tire rubbing on the fender wells will no longer be a problem.

3. The new wheels comes with stud bolts that is "screwed in". Will there be a problem in terms of safety if I go with Volvo's original mounting? (stud bolt inside and nut outside)

I am very eager to hear your comments and would love to see my Brick with the Minilites mounted correctly and safely.
