Neither of those sizes are going to happen. In S4 fitment, you get 18x7.5" or 17x7.5" period.
I went with the 18"x7.5" and am 110% happy with my wheels... I wouldn't trade them for anything else I've seen.
I'm running 235 series tires... do you need anything wider?
From my research, you can get them from Supreme Power Parts and Colorado Wheel. I bought mine from Colorado Wheel, there were some problems in shipping (delay and then UPS stealing one of the wheels) and Ben at Colorado took really good care of things, I'd recommend buying from them, but have also heard nothing but good things about SPP.
I doubt you'll find what you want in stock anywhere (you may get lucky!) so you'll probably have to wait for them to be ordered (two months supposedly). The LE37s aren't a problem but I'll bet 'cha $5 you can't get anyone to order the Daytonas.
One more thing... Mackin Industries is the U.S. importer of Volk (Rays) wheels, the people that the above mentioned compaines get them from. They won't sell directly to an end user and as a company, they suck... big time - they won't help you with anything, so don't bother.
Hope that helped... Good luck!

235 series should be for a 8.5" width rim...
on a 7.5" like you described it's completely stretched, and no curb protection, not sure if you care about that. With an 8" rim you should be running 225 series and at most a 235 series.

A 235 series tire on a 7.5 inch rim won't look stretched...
...it'll look "bulbous", or "poofy". I think you're thinking of putting say a 225 series tire on a 8.5" rim, that combo can result in a tire that looks too small for the rim, with the lip of the rim hanging out where it can easily get scratched on a curb.
