Thinking of getting some wheel spacers to fill up the wheel arch on my rs4 b7 convertible, thinking x4 15 mm spacers what do you think ?

This has been discussed to death on here. Depends on how low you have it i.e. lowered suspension, SS or SS+. What size wheels and width tyres are you planning on running etc.
Most people run 8mm front and 10mm rear.

Wheels already on, but look lost in the wheel arches

As above, 8 & 10 should be fine. I run 8 & 8 on my avant but sometimes i have heavy loads in the back so didn't want to rub on the 10's.

I had10s all round with Billy's lowered 30mm ish and they scrapped front arches ended up
Catching lip and bending it down ,had repaired and removed fronts.Im on factory wheels,
rears have camber adjusted which helped but still with heavy loads get a tiny bit of catching
Wish I had got 8s .
No one can hear you scream in space , nor can they hear you at the rear of v8 at 8000+
