Default S6 wheel fitment

Hey guys, this may sound cheezy to a lot of you guys but I really like the RS4 type wheel. I was wondering if anyone knows if Audi makes that wheel in and 18 that will fit on the S6 Avant. I saw that they offer one for the Offroad and it is 18 x 8.5. I think that is the same as the RS4 but I don't know if the offset is the same on the S6 and the Offroad. Also Audi just introduced the new TT with 18 RS4 type wheels but I don't know how wide they are or what the offset is on them. Finally, are these the exact same wheels that so many RS4 owners have had bend easier than they should? Thank in advance for any info.

Rs4 wheels are 18/8(quite positive don't quote me on it though) ET43
5/112 bolt pattern
RS4 wheels should fit fine.
s6 is 5/112
and yes from what I have read they sapposely bend quite easily, bummer..

Well, at least the bolt pattern is the same thanks, one down.
Do you know how or anywhere I could find the offsets?
When I had a M3 this was a big deal with BMW. Apparently, BMW pretty much doesn't make a model with the same offset as the next. I don't know if Audi is as bad and I don't know if it is the same on the S6 and the A6 4.2.
I think they are 8.5's so I am curious if they will fit. I have however seen spy shots of the up and coming RS6. They type RS4 wheels are on it so I don't know. I also don't know if this would comprimise the ride quality a lot.
I guess I always like the factory or "modified" factory look.

Thanks for the info

Default Yes RS4 wheel...

bolt pattern is same however offset is more positive, and fenders now barely cover tires. Finish is brighter silver and they sure do look good on Atlas Gray. Still waiting for the return of camera so that I might post some pics.
