S500 Staggered Wheels?

I've had my Coupe for a month now and the mod bug has hit me. I've been browsing Craigslist for any parts I can find and I came across this listing for a set of staggered s500 wheels with brand new tires:

http://cleveland.craigslist.org/pts/3203859782.html

I know the bolt pattern is the same but the offsets and widths are what I'm asking. Will they fit no problem? The wheels I have on the car now seem a little too "tucked" up in the rear fenders and I'd like something that will sit a little closer to the fender

If I remember correctly I believe the offset on those wheels are higher than ours. Call the guy up and see if you can test fit them

++ on what phister said. IIRC, they are 44ish offset. Youd need some spacers to make it work.

Figures. I had a feeling since the s500 comes with a staggered set up that the offsets wouldn't work. I'm not a big fan of spacers. I ran them on my Jetta and I never really felt comfortable with them being there.
