Question about rims

I love the 20" 5 arm rims some of you guys have put on your a6's. I called Hartmann and their 5 arms won't fit the 2012 they tolm me because of the size of the front rotors.

Anyone know if these would work? I don't need 20's 19's in the 5 arm look good also. Any tips would be appreciated, the right rims make these cars tight.

I remember reading in another thread that the Hartmann's fit with spacers. I also sent an email to them asking for confirmation. Seems natural that they eventually release the wheel with the proper fitment for our cars.

i called hartmann and they seemed to think the 19" version of the 5 arm would not work with our car even with spacers, said it would rub either on the inside or outside. the 18" would but the hartmann rep said didnt look right on our car.

I'm not interested in 20" wheels so I guess I'll stick with mine for now. They are growing on me after my two days of ownership, lol.
