what bbs are they?

et20 is fine, the spacers will only be needed if the spoke style hits your brake calliper.

I've got some 7x16 et20 that fit fine, but I've also got some that need a small (3-5mm) spacer to clear the calliper.

btw you really need to include the other sizes(width and diameter) when quoting offset. i.e. an 8x17 et 20 will be fine, a 10x17 et20 probably wont.
