Lift or spacers?

It depends on what's stopping them from fitting?
If it's the tyre fouling the suspension, then a lift isn't going to help.
If the tyres are hitting the bodywork, then a lift will help.
I'm guessing it's a pre 2001 model, which have a different wheel offset to the later vehicles. This difference in wheel offset will affect the ability to take larger diameter tyres, of which your 205/80/16 are about as big as is possible without needing some form of non standard modification.

Large spacers or later wheels and shim spacers, don't forget to tell your insurance company.

L Series seem to be gaining in popularity, maybe they are achieving classic status
So i'm going to need wheels from a 2001+ MY?
Do you know the offset before I cock it up again?
You might as well fit 25mm spacers to the wheels you already have.

3" lift - I don't even think that is possible without building a new chassis!
That's an awful lot of work and completely unnecessary for a few mm of extra clearance.
