Yes, I believe you'll need a 5mm spacer to clear front brakes, perhaps 5mm feint and 10mm rear, should look spot on

Pics when you're ready please :biggrin3:

Yes will do! Regarding spacers is that because the dish wont be as deep if you like? I'm running 8mm front & 11mm rear anyway but want them to suit the car obviously.

do you mean these 20s?

mine are 255 30 20 and they fit with no spacers, but the 265s may give you an issue

The OEM wheels are ET29 and 9" wide so identical but depending on the actual design of the wheel they might need spacers as mentioned above. The RS5 wheels like Rick has above are ET26 and only just clear the calipers so it is dependant on the style of the wheel. No real science either, it's a case of trial and error or learn from someone elses exeprience with the same wheel & size.

PS Rick, that looks sooo good!
