The one's extreme wheels are selling Been considering these myself however not keen on spacers. Another option maybe to use Golf offset 35 as that will move the wheel further out.

Mark did say that he had sold some to someone with a Bugeye and that using 5mm spacers caused no issues at all, he also said they looked .

Theoretically a better bet than 45 offset as your moving the spokes further out thus giving more clearance.
