Yes you can!
My winter setup is 17x8 ET20 and I'm running them with 5mm spacer front and 12mm rear, so the "final" ETs are 15 in front and 8 in back.

edit: Oh, just be sure about right sized tires !

edit2: About those Beyern wheels. They look great, but I don't think you're going to have much lip with 8" wide ET20 wheel. Just a thought though...

So I do need spacer for this rims?
By the way, my car is 545i with sports package.

I just want to buy 17inch rims + winter tires (direct installation, no spacer no mods)
tirerack.com's cheap winter tires are all sold out.

make sure you select your 545 as the car in the tire rack wheel selector and you should be fine. the non-sport 545 comes with 17s so there has to be some that fit.

No you don't need spacers with them. I just tried to tell that ET15 is ok, and even smaller ET numbers are acceptable in rims of that size.
17x8 ET15, 5x120, hub 72,56mm will be a perfect fit with your car.

About that hub. If it's 74,1mm, you will need hubcentric rings.
