Default audi rims or VW rims?

Hi Wanted to know if anyone can tell me if I Can put audi or VW rims on without any spacers. I saw these audi rims and thought they would look nice on the crossfire. These are 18" all around.

A new 2009 Rabbit has 5 X 112 pattern. But the offset is ~42mm.

I actually bought a set of audi rims to use as drag wheels the issue isn't the bolt pattern its that the hub size for audi is smaller than mercedes so you need to find a wheel shop that will machine out the hub to be hubcentric for our hub size. and of coarse that the offsets are correct.

here is a picture of the 16x9 22 offset rims i bought. they weigh in at 16.5 lbs each and were only 179 each.
