Nope, they won't work.

Not as they are anyway You MIGHT be able to go to a machine shop and get the inner face of the wheel machined down a bit to effectively give the wheel more offset. A guy here with a red 5MT SVX has Mustang wheels that rubbed. He had the mounting surface of the wheel machined down 5mm or so and voila, rubbing issues gone.

This may or may not be possible depending on the thickness of the wheel where the lug nuts are. For example, my BBS wheels aren't very think at the center, so I wouldn't be comfortable thinning them down further. The wheels on an Infiniti G35 are massively thick, so lots of room to remove material.
