Default Winter Tire question

Hello,
I recently purchased a 2013 A4 Premium Plus that comes with 18" 10 spoke dynamic design wheels w/ 245/40 all-season tires (Pirelli).

I previously had a 2006 Audi A4 that had 17" wheels. I have fairly new 17" winter tires on separate wheels/rims that I swap out for the winter. I'm a skier and need snows for the New England weather.

I wanted to know if there is a way to use the 17" winter tires/wheels on the new 2013 Audi? I've been to 2 tire places as well as the Audi dealer and have gotten three different answers.

Here is the info on the 17" wheels and tires.
The rims were purchased at Ronal in Huntington Beach, CA back in 2005.
41R780507XSTS-1
Center Caps were also purchased
Hub Rings were purchased: ZP 76 to 57 ZP50725
Lug Bolts: 14 x 1.5 cone 26.5mm L3266

The winter tires that are on the above rims are:
GE1548634 P235/45R17Q Gen Altimax Arctic Black.
@ SR418 Stem-Rubber small bore long

The Audi dealer recommended getting "Spacers" and sent me to a local tire palce. They said that they would not put Spacers on the car, I went to another tire dealer and they said that they could put the spacers on the car but that I would need to order them from Audi.
Talked to Audi dealer again and they said that it was Hub Rings that needed to be different and not Spacers.

Can you help me? Is there a way to use the 17" wheels and tires from my old 2006 A4?
Thanks.
