Default Adapting BMW wheels to TT? Possible? Experiences?

I have a line on a very inexpensive set of Fikse Mach V's with 45mm offset for an M3. Are spacers all I need to change this to the TT 100mm offset? What's the trade-off, if any? I would be using these particular rims for autocross, so I predict higher than normal stress factors. Does that make a difference with spacers?
Any advice appreciated!

Default its not a 100mm offset - its a 35

the 100 refers to the bolt pattern as in 5x100
not going to happen I'm afraid

Looks like it can be done, but probably not a good idea

Default Here's the list of H&R adapters....Unfortunately...>>

It does not look like they go from 5/120 (BMW) to 5/100 Audi TT. There are some companies that make custom adapters though. Unfortunately, to keep your same 32 offset, you'll have to find adapters 13mm thick (45-32=13). Most adapters will be at least 25mm thick (like the H&R spacers for the TT) resulting in a true offset of +12mm. This will work fine (many of us have gone to 15's with no problems on the front) front and rear if you can source them.......<ul><li><a href="http://www.ecstuning.com/wheelspacerkitpage.htm">ECS tuning, adapter page</a></li></ul>
