Not likely on a cup & cone type bottom bracket. But looking at the OP's picture, if the problem is that the chainrings are too close to the frame, there does appear to be room for at least a 1mm spacer under the fixed cup to move the arm out. If the problem is that the chainrings are too far away, the OP would need a shorter spindle.
