yeah think you need a minimum 17" to clear the m3 brakes, so close but so far! lol

The 16" BBS style 5 wheel (from a 7 series) will fit over the M3 brakes but the offset is wrong, and not much help to you if you don't have any!
As you're talking about axle stands, do you need to move the car? If it's just going to be parked up, you could unbolt the calipers and use the E46 wheels.

The e46 wheels will fit with spacers, minimum 15mm. If it's just to get it off stands and it's not going to be driven anywhere, could pack it out with something but would still need longer wheel bolts.
