Default Wheel Fitment Audi to Saleen

Can anyone please offer advice whether it is possible to fit some 5 stud 20 inch aftermarket alloy wheels from my 2006 Audi RS4, to my 2009 Saleen S302 Extreme? I am aware of a process utilising floating taper wheelnuts, as the PCD for the Audi is 114.3 versus the Saleen at 112.
The offsets for the Audi are all 4 wheels at +35, versus the Saleen at +35 front and +50 rear. The wheels we wish to fit from the Audi, have an oespherical or oval shape hole where the wheelnuts slide into (about 30mm and 35mm each end) however a 30mm clearance (just under an inch and a quarter) is available all the way down to the taper, where it then reduces to about 12.5mm or half inch.
We do not know anything about floating taper wheelnuts, however what we do know is that we have a set of awesome wheels that we want to fit to the Saleen, made from cast aluminium, that are similar PCD's, both in 20 inch size, and just need to clarify if we are dreaming to hope to utilise these on the Saleen or if we have a chance of pulling it off. $8000 USD will be saved potentially! Thanks for any advice.

If $8000 will be saved just machine he wheels for extra clearance. Also audi is 112 and Saleen is 114.3 not the other way around.

That way too much of a difference however to make it fit. Find a machinist.

I think everyone here would appreciate some pics, if we did help you it would be a nice thank you...

Just an FYI- I've got four of the Saleen Heritage 19x10 +50 offset wheels on my car with 285/35/19 s all the way around. With this offset, everything fits perfectly.

Welcome to the forums!

Off-topic: What production number is your 2009 Saleen S302 Extreme?
