like going from a 45mm offset to a 30mm offset wheel.  Very noticable indeed. 
 I
can show you a picture of an S4 with 24mm offset Porsche wheelsif anyone 
wants.  Its a big picture but the car looks HOT.  
  Anyhow, 15mm spacer is large,  The S4 I know uses the larger bolts with the 
19mm head (shared with VW Vanagon)  If the thread size is larger as well this 
could be nice for more strenghth. However, at this level, I would think your 
getting into the
territory where you could get spacers that bolt to the hub and then have 
their own studs built in.  This is the better and stronger way to go.
  Best of luck.  I'm not familiar with the H&R spacers, it could be a great 
kit.  Just sharing my beliefs.

     I have 15mm H&R spacers on my 80qt, they are hub centric and very nice, 
highly recommended.  I also am running 14mm studs, so no problems with bolts 
being too short...
