Can I make this wheels fit my 2.7T?

Hi Folks.. I found this wheels on ebay and I really like them. Item # 290088603716. The tech says that this won't fit my car because of the brake calipers. Could I use a spacer to fix this problem? How big of a spacer? Is this a recomended solution? Any suggestions or recomendations from anybody?
Thanks.

Not enough information provided. What offset are the wheels. What year is your car? The calipers changed for 02' and after. Spacers can make wheels fit it the offset is too large.However, the cost savings of getting the replicas from ebay versus getting that wheels from somewhere such as www.hartmannwheels.com at the correct offset may be offset with the price of spacers and longer lug bolts.

yea, we need more info on the wheels. also, spacers= bad idea, they cause harmfull vibration
