The stock rims are 17X8 +50, so the M45 rims would stick out about 6mm more. I would think a 20mm spacer would look pretty good and sit in virtually the same position as a 25mm spacer on the stock GS rims.

thanks do the 20mm spacers have the bolts in the spacer, like the 25mm do or do you have to replace the stock bolts with longer ones

That depends on which ones you get. Some spacers come with the studs already pressed, some don't.

Just buy the adapters with studs on them. Now days with the special thin lug nut you can find studs on adapters as low as 15mm. I don't think I've ever seen then on a 10mm though as that might be too thin even for the new thin lugs.
