Check to see what the centre bore is on the ones you have bought as this may be why he is saying they wont fit. Its possible the centre bore will be too big or too small.
if too big its not an issue, you can use spigot rings, if too small take them to a machine shop and have the bores opened out.
Either way if the offset and PCD are correct you will be able to get them to fit one way or another.

My BBS CH reps i had before needed spigot rings and don't cost much at all so don't worry about that. Who are you buying them from? You could get 9" on the front aswell if you wanted to 
there from ebay mate, yeah sais ET 38 on the listing headline but ET35 on the description, ill email the guy now about the centre bore size he hasent listed it, heres the link anyways

Did you tell him it was an 8L S3? The specs suggests it will fit, and I've seen S3's with these wheels on, if it's a matter of suspension and brake clearance, then there's nothing a few sets of spacers can't sort out?!
