will the b6/b7 sport 17s 5 star spoke wheels fit over the s4 brakes?

I know these wheels were the sport wheels for the b6 a4 and b7 a4 for a while and fit behind the b7 a4 brakes, but i have no idea if they will fit under the b8 s4s, are 18s the smallest wheels that fit underneath these brakes?

It's my understanding that B6/B7 wheels don't fit on the B8.

But there are 17" rims that will fit. There's a thread some place where Tirerack said they had test fit some.

If brake clearance is good, B6/B7 wheels will fit as long as their center bore size is machined out to 66.56mm. Brake clearance is the big unknown tho. My OEM 18" sport pkg wheels clear my bro's B7 A4 avant brakes just fine, but I don't know about 17"s and I don't know how much bigger B8 S4 brakes are compared to B8 A4 brakes.
