I have a 10 mm PowerTech spacer on the rear of my A6 2.7T. You will need longer bolts. Properly torqued there should be no problem. PowerTech and H&R are both made very similiar and are good brands..

Default I have 10mm MTM spacers...

I bought them used from S4TNT. They are $270 new (set of 4), which includes the longer bolts.
