In a word, no.  Unless you had changed the hub and brakes, your 4kcsq
is 4x108 whereas the A4 has 5x112.  There is a chance that the 16x7 A4
wheels would rub (either at the fender or against the tie rod arm) even
if you had converted to a 5x112 setup.  Also, the A4 tires are going to
be too big (diameter-wise) for the 4K series, causing speedometer error
and a change to the effective final drive ratio.
