It depends on the specs of the wheel, spacers can only correct an offset that is too high.

the Et number which is stamped onto the wheels you are asking about. Varies from wheel to wheel so could not say without knowing what wheels they are.

From memory those wheels are et45, I had 10 mm spacers on the front only to clear the suspension there was no need on the rears,....Got mine from halfords about a tenner.....just 5 stud 10mm is all you need :ok

Usually Audi wheel need the centre bore machining. Far easier alloys our there like Merc alloys

Get a multiple fit spacer you can them on eBay. They will space the wheels and they cover all configurations. I'll look for a link.
I've used them on all my old boy racer cars but they make most things fit ie 4 and 5 studs.

The only thing I'm not sure about is the centre whole size.
