winter wheels: b6 s4 Avus?

Does anyone know if the 18" 8J avus rims from a b6 s4, with 43 mm offset, will work as winter rims for the rs4? thanks in advance...

it might but you will need around 15-20mm spacers depending on suspension/brake clearance

The actual difference is 27mm on the outside edge

going from a 9" wide 29 offset to 8" wide 43.

thanks and follow up

thanks for your replies... I found a spacer from H&R that looks like it would do the job:

Is there any downside to using spacers, e.g. decreased mounting stability or something like that? would anyone recommend against this setup for an rs4? thanks again...
