CK6Speed makes a very good point. If your car is up in the air bolt the wheel on with the spacer and free spin it. If it moves up and down it may be possible that they drilled the holes off center shifting everything over.

Try replacing them with H&R spacers and go from there. When in doubt, just replace the whole spacers up front with a high quality one. Or borrow some spacers from another GS owner who has a similar setup. I think ICHIBA or H&R are good brands.

If you have good ichiba spacers in the rear with no vibration, swap the offending front ones in the rear and see if the problem follows. If so, than its the front spacers. If not, than try swapping the good ichiba spacers from the rear onto the front and see what happens.

yep ichiba v2 60.1. Will do the daizen swap in about two weeks and see if that helps, my guess is they just take the regular vibration I already have and multiply it by x10 lol

Do your wheels have the indentations on the inside of the hub for the studs sticking out? My work wheels don't have that so I have to use extended studs and slip on hubcentric spacers.
