i did mine last summer to fit some 16x8 S4 rims onto my car.  i beleive the
procedure is in the archives.  one side (the drivers side) went
perfect...looks real good.  The other side i botched.  The passenger side
is harder due to (i beleive) the metal being thicker or something to
support the gas tank filler.  take your time...  good luck.  i also had to
shave a mm or so off each tie rod so the front tires would not rub.
