RS7 wheels on S6?

Does anyone know if these RS7 wheels fit the S6? Audi’s accessory page says no, but i suspect that’s because of the slightly larger tire diameter than the S6, but who knows....thinking about these for winter setup, if snyone has them, do you have a pic i can see?

Not totally sure about an RS 7 but I tried a friends S7 wheels on my S6 before I bought factory winters. I tried the 19 inch OZ wheels on the car. I was able to get the wheel on but it was too close to the caliper for comfort. The offset is different as well and the tires were just barely outside the wheel well. I didn’t want that aggressive of a stance. I’m not sure of the size of the tires; I think they were a tire rack package.
