Fit - Yes
Ideal? No

Quite a few people are running those wheels on an S4 with no problems, some have a slight clearance issue with the rear fender.

I've got a set of these rims in perfect shape if anyone is interested.

Those 11's will need some persuasion to get in there. Fender rolling at a minimum and maybe some minor flaring.

Look at my signature for a 928 wheel offset/size calculator.

From your calculator the wheels I just bought on ebay tonight will not fit on my 88 S4. Looks like my fenders will need to be rolled.

Rolling is not that big of a deal. I did it.

They will fit....not ideal.....the rears will require some rolling...the fronts will drop on.....50mmx 8" rim is about the minimum you should run on a 928.....the bummer is 225 is about the widest tire you can run without rubbing...I have CIII 18" 8x57 front with 235/40 fronts....fit no problem and not rubbing even at full lock @ 155mm ride height

Thanks for the info I will probably have a professional roll the fenders not something I feel comfortable doing. I bought hollow spoke Turbo II wheels should be here next week mounted with pzero's.
