OK, deep breath lol

The standard 20" wheel fitment for a D3 is a 9Jx20 ET46. From memory with a 275/35R20 tyre

Looking at the wheels you've mentioned:

the fronts should give 10mm additional clearance on the inside, but be more inset at the outside due to the narrower wheel (compared to a factory 20) so spacers should sort that. Rolling radius is 2% out from stock

The rears will be 12mm closer on the inside and stick out 14mm less on the outside. Again spacers can sort.

Have a look here:

and try substituting the spec of your existing wheels rather than the factory 20s to give a better idea of where you might be able to get them out to.

check the tyre rolling radius too - I think you're OK but with quattro it's very important to be very close to the same rolling radius front to back.
