If you begin to add spacers and use a crankset for a wider BSA bottom bracket box (like 73mm) you don't know what chainline you will actually get and if it will fit for the front derailleur.
About the Litepro chainrings, some people mounted them on the Brompton and had problems with the teeth shape.
Thanks. Could you advise which other brands for chainrings I can consider as the one you’ve suggested is out of stock. I assume they should be compatible with Shimano chain?
