Wheel fitment for winter tires

  I have had winter wheels for 2 200 20-v's. I have used 92-95 s-4 speedlines over g-60s,  then switched cars to UFO. The 16 inch wheels are big enough diameter but the caliper interferes without spacers. The A-4 6 spoke wheels currently on the car (45 offset) have 5mm hubcentric H&R spacers and work great.

I've shod my daughters and wife's car[s] with Blizzaks for several
 years  now 
and I've just fought winter with my A/S's on OE  wheels and 
AWD..........well, I'm tired of fighting and want a dedicated  winter
 wheel/tire. The
UFO's are the main reason I haven't done this earlier. Chris Miller's
 site  
has some listing of fit /no fit wheels, but it deals primarily with 17"
 wheels. 
 There is a list of steel wheels [which would be fine] that fit, but,
 I've  
had no luck finding them. So, I've been to Tirerack.com and they have
  several 
wheels that come up with 200q20v entered. One in particular seems
 right,  
Borbet Type B, 15x7, 5-112, 35mm offset. Does anyone have any knowledge
 of this  
or any wheel in 15" or 16" that will fit over the UFO's. I figure I'll
 wait and 
 see if anyone knows, if not I'll order one wheel, see if it fits, then
 go 
from  there.
 
BTW, as soon as I get a dedicated winter package it will not snow for
  weeks.
 
It hasn't stopped snowing for more than a day or two here for weeks,
 coming  
down in serious fashion now!!
