This will provide some info on sizes. The section width is an issue with the S3 and earlier, but you may be ok with S4 wings.

I'm not sure they'd fit the arches. Even the 4.5 L section 'wets'.

I’ve used CR450M in s1 elan, took some fiddling to find the correct offset to allow 5” rims to fit.
I suspect CR450L which was OEM s1 26R fitment would be easier as it has less bag in the sidewalls.
I love driving classics on cross ply race tyres, 4 wheel drifting with ease. I had a memorable race with friend in S4 Elan and I was driving an Alfa 105 GTV coupe, at the end of the race the flag Marshalls were giving us a huge cheer, having enjoyed the entertainment.
I hope you work it out.
