I had them before. Just make sure you get hubcentric spacers and you should be fine. I noticed some slight handling improvements with 15mm in the front and 25mm in the rear.

As chrispy said....any spacer you put on your GS...make sure they are hubcentric with 60.10 hub bore size....this will keep wheel vibration to a minimum when wheels are center mounted to the hub.

They're not his stock wheels. 15 or 20mm in the front would look good. Ichiba makes bolt on spacers if you don't feel like pounding out studs.

what would you guys reccomened me to get? The 25's or the 30's for the rear. I want to rear to be a little agressive. I can see that the 25mm spacers bring the wheel out just out straight to the gap of the rear wheel well. Do have a pic with the 25mm's in rear but from far from the back. I want to see the
stance.

you should get a 30mm since your whel is x7.5 mine are 17x8 instead. so you will end up with the same stand.
