I just spoke to the owner of the Q5 in the above link and he informed me that the wheels fit on the Q without any modification and they DO NOT stick out beyond the fender well.
Now, all I have to do is figure out how much they are and see what the shipping would be to the states.

If I pull the trigger I will overload the forum with pictures as I'm sure there are others who are in the situation I'm in with a lack of pics
I have been emailing the people at Fowkesauto.com about the wheels and I have been given the following specs:
"The wheels are available in this exact specification:
9.5x22" 5x112 ET35 66.6 Centre Bore"
I was also told the tires the gentleman in the above referenced photo used were 265/35R22 Continental Cross Contact UHP XL 102Y
I just wish I could find a wheel manufacturer in the states that sold the RS4 replicas with the aforementioned specifications

So I talked to the owner of the Q5 listed above and he sent me 4 more pics...In all honesty, it looks like the wheels could come out even further. Remember the specs are 22x9.5 35et

Further? Maybe the rear, but that front is out there. As the tread extends beyond the lower fender, you're risking paint damage from stones and other road debris.

I think your math is correct. I do plan on calling Achtuning, but I have not had the chance yet. However, I am not hot on the idea of using the adapter/spacer in order to make the wheel work.

After looking at it again, I agree with what you said. Rears can come out a bit more, but fronts are good as is.

Spacers are no big deal. I've used them in the past even when it wasn't required for clearance just to get the proper stance. Heck, Porsche even offers them from the factory for finicky customers like myself. (I suppose you could make the argument that adding spacers should technically enhance handling due to the wider track.) You can also vary the spacer thickness front to rear when one end sits more flush than the other (like the Q5 pictured, for example). Keep in mind that longer lug bolts are typically required for all but the thinnest of spacers. Again, any good wheel dealer should be able to advise you to the correct fitment options.
