Default Wheel question - do 18" stock S4 wheels fit RS4?

I'm in the process (finally!) of buying an RS4. I have a set of stock Avus 18" wheels from my '05 S4. Does anyone know if they'll fit on the RS4? If so - I have my winter wheels covered.

Any help is appreciated.

Default you'll need spacers to clear the brakes at the very least

RS4 wheels are 9" with et 29, the S4 are 8" with et48 IIRC - you would need 30 mm spacers to at least match the stance of the OE wheel. That's a lot of spacer - not unheard of though.

You could probably get away with 10 mm spacers to clear the brakes, but the car's stance will look bad.

Putting S4 wheels on a RS4 is just not right. Its just one of those rules you cant break.

Oh heck. For winter I'd put on steel wheels, if anybody made them...

Default I spoke to TireRack about this a few days ago

They said, "No". I asked about spacers, they said, "No".
