B7 Wheels onto a C6 and vica versa???

Am I right in believing that I can put my C6 wheels onto my B7 and vica versa?

Do you know the centre bore for C6 wheels? If they are 55.7 then you can swap away assuming they can clear brakes and they don't foul the suspension or stick out too much.
If they have a centre bore of 66.6 then the RS6 wheels will fit onto a B7 with wheels spigots but B7 wheels won't fit onto the C6.

According to https://www.wheel-size.com/size/audi/rs6/2009/
the C6 has a centre bore of 57.1 so it's the same as the B7.
Therefore it's just a case of brake clearance etc. Pretty sure I've seen a B7 with peelers on before though.
Might need a narrower tyre than the C6 takes though.
