right, since my other wheels (ADR M-Sport) are being homosexual (!) and refusing to fit without having my calipers skimmed back or by putting on 12mm spacers pushing the wheels out too far, I'm considering selling them via eBay for what I paid for them & then buying these LM replicas:

They're 5x112 and ET45 - should they go on with no probs?!
I do have 5mm spacers if needed for the front?!
lol - i never knew sorting wheels for the B7 would be such a headache!

et45 wont fit you would need 10mm spacers.......et35 is a perfect fit for non curved spokes but why buy wheels on ebay =\

I got ET 45 and they fit fine, until you put brand new pads in, then the calipers wont clear without spacers.
I just machined the calipers so it would without any spacers, that way you can get the right stance,without any rubbing issues.
