I want to change the stance of my GS a little bit and I'm going to space the wheels out to beef her up. I know I need to buy longer wheels studs (ARP im assuming) and it was recommended to get the spacers from Baer but I'm not sure length and width for the front and back. Help!

Looks great as is, but I suggest swapping to a set of black ZR1 wheels instead (19/20).

..... I think it's perfection as it sits. Matter of fact I may mirror it exactly for my GF's GS.

As for spacing I run 5/16" spacers but I dont have the wide body so its hard to say. The 5/16" put my wheels perfectly aligned with the fenders though. Being as low as it is and the wheels pushed out it looks much meaner from what I've been told.

If you want to get a feel for how it will look, just stack some 1/2" ID flat washers on the lug studs and put the wheels and lug nuts back on. But first remove the rotor retaining clips.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR CAR WITH THE FLAT WASHERS INSTALLED.

You will have to move the car a short distance to let the suspension settle back to normal.

Thanks for your responces! I guess my question how much is a safe amount to space the front and the back. I was thinking 1/2 inch front spacers and 3/4 back?

If you're not road racing the thing and use good studs, like the ARP's, then those shouldn't be an issue. Definitely get a quality spacer too though. I opted for some cheap Pep Boys ones to fit my brakes but never got better ones and eventually the spacers caused me issues with the brakes. In short, those cheap spacers were so poor in quality that torqing the wheels on was crushing them along with aggressive driving over time.
