Does anybody know if the Griffith 500 alloys fit on the `s` ok?
Do they have the same offset, is there any clearance problems etc...

If you can fit the alloys on the `s`, does anybody recommend what tyre sizes to use width/profile for good handling?

Which 'S'?

As standard you will have 15x7 rims all round with 205x60x15 tyres, or possibly 205x55x15. The Griffith front wheels are identical and will go straight on with the same tyres. The rear wheels on a Griffith are bigger (16x7.5 with a different offset). These will fit on the S4 and V8S, but won't fit on the earlier models unless you're prepared to take an angle grinder to your rear suspension. People do go up to 225 section tyres on those rims on Griffiths and Chimaeras but I'd suggest you stick with 205, I found they suited the car very well.

Hope this helps,
