RISK? about to buy the new b6 s4 wheels. in theory it should fit, who disagrees?
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/37672/avusiii.jpg"></center><p>now,
knowing that the s8 wheels fit without any problems on the b5 s4 at 18x8 et48 (only needing a spacer when the stock brakes are new), the new b6 s4 wheels should definitely fit (at all times)with the specs of 18x8 et45. It gives 3 more mm of space than the s8 wheels for the brakes.
No one seems to have tried these wheels on the b5 yet, making me the first.
What could possibly go wrong? I will get 225 tires to reduce any risk of rubbing. Keep in mind that the s8 wheels are confirmed to fit perfectly requiring a 3-5 mm spacer only to clear new brakes or just to enhance the look.
Expert insight needed before i spend all this money, or if anyone in the tristate area has access to the new avus wheel

According to a post on RS246.com, they won't clear the brakes w/o a spacer.
