Hi Murray,
Before considering different size tires, be sure you know the overall dimensions. Do a search for "Tire Size Calculators" on the web; one of these will allow you to compare tire diameters, which will affect your overall gearing. Also, check the tire manufacturers sites for recommended rim size (or use the excellent Tire Rack site). A 6.00 rim sounds too narrow for a 225 section tire. I use 225/45x15 Hoosiers on a 8.50 wide rim, however, I cut the wheel openings to provide clearance.
My 8.50 wheels have a 4.25 in. backspace, placing the inside of the rim in the same location as a stock wheel. With a 22.90 overall diameter, the outside edge of the tire rubs on the back of the front wheel well with the steering at full lock. I also use 1/4 in. spacers at the back to eliminate a slight rub on the inside of the wheel well.
And... check your owners manual, S4 spiders do NOT have ABS.

Thank you,
