In the  past I have run S4 winter-package wheels (15x7.5, et40) on my
urq with  195/65-15 snows without any interference.

I've been watching this  thread with great interest.  I want some snows
for my urq but I want  them to also work for my V8q.  It sounds like my
plan is  workable.

My plan is to use the standard flat-faced V8 wheels (15x7.5  et35) with
205/60-15 tires.  I've seen plenty of people using 15x7.5,  et35 wheels
on urq's (out here in CO anyway) and 205/60-15 was the stock  size for
the earlier urq's, on 15x7 et45's, so I figure there would be  no
problem.

The 205/60-15's might not be optimal for the urq, but  they are about
the least I feel comfortable with on the V8, so I think it's  a decent
compromise between the two.

I have been running 200 20v wheels on my URQ (what you saw at Park  City) 
with 225 50 15 tires. No rubbing, and I like the look. The wheels are  15x7.5 ET 
35.
Your approach should work fine.
