I think I have these 16"  wheels on my van. They are excellent. I have them
on a 2WD with bored out centers and 10mm spacers.
there is a pic of my van at:

its the first one ion the row, dark grey.
Only trouble is to get the correct lug nuts and bolt for the audi ball seat
radius. You can do it the hard way like the guy on vwrx.com and redrill, but
you can also just use H&R nuts on the back and ebay bolts on the front.
use machined billet spacers only. I first bought some cheap spacers, cast
alloy, for these wheels and they would have terrible vibration while
running.
