Should be no problem at all, ...
though you might want to confirm that the B5 S4 Avus wheel is 17x7.5 ET45. IMHO, the 245/50-17 would be the best tire for this wheel.
The S8 Avus wheel is 18x8 ET48. Since the centerline of the S4 wheel is only 3mm further out, the difference is almost insignificant. You can use this <A HREF="http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html">Wheel Offset Calculator</a> to compare the S4 to the S8 or my 20x9 ET39 wheel, which also fits without problem.
