Maybe. Maybe not. I think so. Only one way to find out for sure. :-)

Default S8 Offset is 48mm, S4 offset is 45mm and most aftermarket

wheels are not offset as little as the stock wheels.

REMEMBER, THE ROLLING DIAMETER OF THE S8 WHEELS IS NOT THE SAME!!!!

If you use those wheels from your S4 on an S8 without changing the tires, it will cause BIG problems because the rolling diameters are significantly different

Default Ok, my post got deleted so here it is again

Maybe!

The S8 rims are 48mm offset, S4 is 45mm, and most aftermarket rims around 35mm.

REMEMBER, S4 RIMS W/TIRES HAVE A DIFFERENT ROLLING DAIMETER THAN S8 RIMS WITH TIRES!

Even if the rims fit, he will need new tires because the rolling diameter is significantly different
