Hello everyone. Happy Labor Day! New to the forum. Apologies if this has been covered but I searched and couldn't find postings on point here.

I have a 2023 A6 with the 20" sport package and am now looking for a winter set up. My buddy is selling his S5 split spoke wheels (like the ones on this S5 http://www.autostead.com/2010-audi-s5-coupe/) and offered to sell them to me for super cheap before posting on CL. Anyway, I've heard that those may not fit because they may not clear the front brakes. I have a budget of no more than $1,500 so this would be a great option for me bc it would leave room to get some good tires (though I'd drive the all seasons he has on them for this winter).

Couple questions: (1) do you know if brake clearance will be a problem (seems odd that they would clear S5 brakes but not standard a6s), (2) if so, are spacers a good option, (3) are there safety, vibration, clearance or other concerns with spacers, (4) any recommendations on size and brand of spacers (ideally that I could use on my summer set up for a more aggressive look), and (5) do you have alternatives that you think would be superior (and within budget) to these wheels?

Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You can compare wheel sizes by model, year, engine, diameter and width here:

It doesn't show MY2023 yet as they won't be built for another 7 years.
