Is there any chance to fit a BBK with my Work setup

Last year I ordered my new Work SC1 Schwert Rims for my 06 Coupe.At this point I made a big mistake and ordered my rims with the maximum lip sizes because I thought I will keep my OEM Brakes.So what I have now is 9,5x20" +15 A-Disk and 10,5x20" +15 O-Disk.
Now I want to spend some money on a new Big Brake Kit and I already bought a complete set of OEM Brembos but after the first caliper install in the front I realized that there is no chance to make them fit with my rims .I also know that the Brembos come out much more wider than other Big Brake Kits but I think I will have the same problems with other manufacturers. At this point I sold the Brembos again and I dont want to order another BBK that will also not fit at the end.
My first choice would be a rotora setup maybe someone can help me out with a few infos if theres any chance for me without getting some other rims.
I think I can install a 5mm spacer per side in the front if this would help but more is defintely not possible with my offsets (to make the brembos fit I had to put more than 15mm spacers per side!!!!)

I would just use spacers to make it clear, will def make you offset look much better +15 is no longer aggressive.

You basically have three choices:

1. New wheels

2. Spacers

3. No BBK
