Re: a question about wheels
I believe that they do not, as the offset is incorrect.
Pls anyone feel free to chime in if I'm wrong, but I thought that the RS4 wheels do not fit A8???

Re: Will they fit? Yes...Will it look good? I really don't think so.
Audi website describes the A8 sport package wheels as follows: 20" seven twin-spoke cast alloy bi-color wheels (with 275/35 R20 summer performance tires). I agree that 20" wheels would look better than the RS4 19" wheels on the A8. My questions: are these the same wheels as on the S8, which I had assumed are forged, and is there a better picture of the wheels to see the bi-color, which is not apparent from the small picture on the Audi website?

The offset is not a problem...You can go an addtional 8mm out from there
before it would start to rub. The issues with the OEM RS4 wheel are the diameter (19 will look tiny on a car as bulky as the A8) and the load rating of the wheel.

Yes for the MY '08 S8 they are quite different and are according the the Audi website 20"
Five-arm wing design cast alloy wheels with 265/35 99Y tires. The new design wheels for the 08 S8 are very nice, but I find it interesting that the '08 A8 Sport option comes with 275's on wheels that certainly appear to be the same design as last year's S8 wheels, although they are apparently finished in a different shade.

yeah... i like 20s too.... but... i love in ukraine and we have here some horrible roads.
I want 19s and want tires 255-40-19 so it won't be so harsh on the road
