Default A8 Flat Fives on B5 A6 Avant 3.0

I have a lead on a set of 18" Fat/Flat Fives off of a 2006 A8. Assuming I put smaller tires (225/40) on them (they come with 255/45's), will I need spacers to have them look right on my B5 with stock suspension?

Another option I've been toying with is buying some 18" RS6 replicas. Are there any prefered replica vendors that sell a good product?

This page has a good visualization tool for old vs new, if you provide rim-, tire-size & offset:

Online Wheel and Tyre Fitment Calculator. Offset, Tyre Stretch and Speedo Error | Will They Fit

You don't say how wide the 18" rims are. If they are 18x8.5, 225 is quite narrow.

Thanks for the calculator! The A8 wheels are 8.5". According to the calculator, they should fit no problem.
