Hartmann B5 RS4 replicas, 18x8.5 et20, will they clear the brakes?

The offset seems good to fit without spacers, which is what Im after (no spacers).

But I know those 8 piston brakes can be a bitch to clear.

Anyone try these with no spacers?<ul><li><a href="http://www.hartmannwheels.com/1-425-895-0000/print/wheel/RS4_-_131_Replica_Wheels/125">http://www.hartmannwheels.com/1-425-895-0000/print/wheel/RS4_-_131_Replica_Wheels/125</a</li></ul>

Haven't tried myself, but...

Achtuning's website lists a bunch of wheels for the RS4, saying that "spacers are required" for all the wheels they show EXCEPT these. Call Achtuning.

I just bought a set of spacers from Achtuning, in an effort to use the Avus wheels from my previous B6S4 for winter wheels on my RS4. Haven't received them yet, so not sure if this will work or not.

Hartmann/Achtuning makes a 18x8 wheel for BBK kits that should work...

I contacted them last year when I was thinking of going the 18" route and they said they will fit.

I'm not sure if when they said they would fit they meant with spacers.
