Those are actually not OEM wheels...
...and to answer your question, they might fit if the spokes are not too thick/deep. You should ask the wheel manufacturer/distributor if these are designed to clear the calipers on a B5 S4. That will help determine if they will fit or not. Dimensions and offset are only part of the equation...the spoke's inside contour is a major factor.

And spacers change offset, and offset changes steering geometry...
Up to -35mm is probably fine. beyond that I would avoid it.
plus, spacers add another part to be slightly off center, slightly weaken the mounting, etc.
I dont like them. They may work, but why play with fire?

Those'd be the ones...
...luckily I live in the DC area so its easy for me to pick them up, if they would fit, Im reading though that a H&R hubcebtric spacer would help with that prob.

Def not...
...Ive decided very much against it, want to be able to clear speed bumps and the rough *** roads here in DC. Besides have heard only bad things that it does to your suspension and tranny.
