There are two other factors which you need to consider. The first is the bore size of the wheel (centre hole), most early Audis have a bore size of 57.1mm whereas the B8's have a bore size of 66.56mm now. The second is the width of the wheel 8J, 8.5J or 9J. I also think the bolt pattern on the B8 A4 is 5 x 112 and not 100 (PCD). Therefore I dont think the wheels you refer to will fit, but you could try posting on this thread for some help:-

I think you will also need to give you suspension set up in your posting

It looks like you have the same wheels as me, so presume you are currently running on 18's. If you are, there is a possibility your car is lowered by 30mm from the standard spec. What I understand from reading other threads is that the car can only be lowered by 20mm if you want to run on anything bigger.

Like Crazyfool has mentioned check how much your car is lowerded as they may rub. I would go for black
