Red face A8 D2 Track Control Arms Replacement

Hi All. I am hoping someone can help me going round in circles. I have an Audi A8 Quattro 2.8 2002, that's been sat on the drive for a very long time. Not a daily driver just an ornament on the drive that the other half would love to see the back of. Anyway, with the current climate I have decided that this will now be my primary hobby and this car is going back on the road. That's the plan.

I have a whole host of jobs to do on it so I am guessing I will be needing a lot more help from this forum in the future.

Issue 1. I am replacing the suspension units and hit a bit of a part number wall. The issue is primarily with the lower front track control arms. The 'original' arm on the car has a part listing 4D0407155N and I cannot seem to source an equivalent. I keep coming up with 4D0407551's in all my searches. I have contacted Mister Auto and Lemforder and both have related back to 4D0407551. Further digging with Lemforder and they quote that their parts relate to cars with up to 18inch rims. Mine are the 20 Inch ones that came with the car when new. Can any of you guys throw any light on whether there is a difference to the track control arms on 20inch rims?

Sorry for the ramble.
