Default 18x8 ET42 fit D2?

My QS wheels are a little run down and kerbed. Ideally they need a refurb, but I also have a cunning plan.

Back at my parents, sitting in their garden is a set of wheels which I had fitted to a previous car that are in far better condition. The wheels in question are RS6 replicas (yes I know), they are 18x8 with an offset of 42 and a PCD of 5x112. From what I can calculate I believe that they will stick 6mm further out that than the standard Sport alloys. Will this be to much I wonder, and since I will be transferring the current 245 wide tyres over am I likely to have rubbing issues?.
