The 7 mm Lorinser spacers could work. The rims are only 7" wide so an offset of 28 mm should be fine.

The wheels would look a whole lot better with the 15 mm spacers though.

You may need new lug bolts, at least with the 10 or 15 mm spacers.

To ensure that your wheels are on correctly the bolts must be able to do 10 full turn in the mounting plate. The 39 mm standard shank is not long enough for both the wheels and the spacer.
