S-Type 2000 Wheel size options
I see 16", 17" and 18" wheels mentioned
in documentation about S-Type 2000 4.0 .
What are the wheel size options and what are
the advantages and disadvantages for each,
for an all-4 wheel replacement ?

The bigger ones are probably heavier, which is undesirable in terms of handling & performance. Some people think they look better.
As the rim size goes up you decrease the sidewall so as to maintain the overall diameter and in turn that means a harder ride. Some prefer that.

Fine.
Sitting higher has its benefits.
Another unrelated question I just remembered:
sometimes the transmission stick (gear selector lever) travel
is restricted from reaching the Park position by its housing,
only reaching Reverse position,
indicating that the connected transmission underneath it
might have rotated slightly.
Currently, shaking it a little side to side will usually suffice
to register it at Park.
What is the solution to this ?

The pre-facelift Sport was fitted with 18" BBS Monaco wheels on standard suspension. Sports suspension came in with the first facelift.
Actually, all later S-Type wheels fit the original cars too. Just have to have the correct tyre size to keep the rolling diameter and clearances correct. There should be no difference in ride height.
The last S-Types had the option of 19" wheels from the factory, which look too big to me on an S-Type. 18" looks just right. 16" feels slightly better and they are definitely noticably lighter.

That is hard to figure.

I checked with a tire retailer and they confirm this.
Apparently, the main advantage to bigger wheels
is that a wider tire may be used, which enhances turning power.
These are the strange looking expensive cars with tires
which when viewed from a distance appear to not be inflated.

The JTIS does not work on any computer with software past windows 7, which ended back in the dark ages when the Huns invaded Saxony.

Interesting. In Europe, 16" Dynamic wheels were standard on both prefacelift 3.0SE and 4.0SE. The 17" Sports were options on all. Both 3.0 and 4.0 Sports had 18" BBS Monaco wheels as standard but only the V8 Sports got CATS as standard.

In any case it is also available as a PDF and online via such as TOPIx.

free Windows Media Center for TV viewing/recording/playback etc.
(including encrypted CableCard content store/playback on HDD).
In addition, for educational or technical Database-based software
like JTIS, you have to find a way of installing DAO, which
I found to be non-trivial.
Fortunately some defunct TV software I owned from ATI had
an executable which specifically installs DAO
(Jet Data Access Objects).

Thanks for clearing that up! 
I have JTIS on W10.

I'm not the guy to help with the install problems. Did you see this?

I just did this a couple minutes ago in a Win10 64-bit system
I did it for x-type but should be the same regardless...
Downloaded JTIS21 X_Type.part1.exe and JTIS21 X_Type.part2.rar
Ran the part1.exe. It extracted files...lots of them.
It created a folder call JTIS21 X_Type and inside that folder was the dao350.dll
Copy the dao350.dll
Paste it into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\DAO
(you'll probably see a dao360.dll there already...that's ok)
Click your start button....go to Windows System...when it expands RIGHT-click on Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator.
you can probably copy and paste this, but.....run this command in that command prompt window:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\DAO\dao350.dll"
Now go to your JTIS entry in your start menu and run it.
I think in order to see some of the photos, you'll need to install the windows help system which I haven''t done yet, but this DID show me the diagrams and procedure when I looked up changing a starter.
I'll look at installing the help system, but that should get you started (pun intended)
