You will need to know the stud pattern. S4 is 5x112.

Tyres will not fit, 235 is about the widest you can go on the S4.

Offset is high which will probably mean that you will require spacers to push the wheels out so ithey dont foul the suspension and with a 8.5J rim they may sit proud of the arch which will be an MOT failure. You should be looking for an offset of ET30-ET35 for an 8.5J rim
