This is true only for the EuroVans that came with 15 inch rims.  (1992-2000)

2001-on have 16 inch rims and larger rotors.  The Audi 15 inch wheels will
not fit, and I'm not sure about Audi 16 inch rims either.

I have a set of 15 inch German EuroVan aluminum wheels and they are much
heavier than the Audi wheels, and have more inside clearance.  The Audis are
tapered and barely clear the rotor and caliper.  The German wheels are
straight inside and have much more clearance.
