You can get the spacers to fit Audi/Ford rims from Peugeot Ecosse.
I can't find their price list right now but I think they cost about 100pound.
TSW wheels are definitely made for peugeot fitment but here in Australia they refused to sell them to me claining 17" wheels would fit any pug except the Mi16???
Of course when I called the UK distributor they said it was bullshit.
If your importing the wheels there are hundreds to choose from with the correct fitment.
