Hi I have 18" 5 stud multi fit RS8 type on my bora as you can see in my sig pic and they fit fine.
Have to have 5mm spacers on the front though as the wheel touches my Coilover springs. Not sure how they will be on standered suspension legs though as coilovers are quite thin.

Yeah, but the Alloys in question actually came from an A8, not an RS8, somehow they got the name RS8... Lol.
The RS6 alloys, actually came from an RS6.

However I have them on my MK4, and they're fine, although I have coilovers and spacers.

I have noticed on mine if I'm facing up hill and I pull away turning right it feels and sounds like they rub on my coilys. Only on left front side though.
