You might, at the extreme, also find some 17" wheels that will go over the brakes.
My old PF S8 had genuine Audi 17" Avus wheels for winter, I think from an S4 or S3, but there was about a 2mm clearance at best to the Brembos when I moved to the FL model.
That meant no internal balance weights or use spacers which I didn't want for winter.
(The obvious economical solution was to buy a set of FE 20s for summer and use the factory 18s for winter, then sell the 17s - might even have been Ainars that bought them?

No, don't have them any more. Turned out that tyres were a bit too big for A6 ( I think it was 225/55R17) and doing very little mileage on S8 I did not need separate winter set so part exchanged them for some 20" which I used while my 19" were off for refurbishment and then sold 20" later.
