If I am correct, the A disk will not allow fitment for big brakes, you need the R disk. Did you use extended studs for the spacers?
10.5 on the rear is really aggressive. Do you have pics with fitment on the rear of the GS?

Correct, as I mentioned in the 1st post I had to use a 6-8mm spacer to clear the brakes on my 99 LS4. I don't have any pics of this on a GS because I don't have a GS myself to test fit it on. The original car that this came off of was an 04 Acura TL. Definitely need extended studs if you use the spacer. The rims were originally sold to my friend by Revision Audio, so I can ask Samson about fitment on various cars. I just haven't had time to go down to his shop yet.

For the GS owners, I spoke to the local Work rim dealer who originally sold these rims and he said for the rear it should fit, but you probably need to roll the fenders. For the front, you probably would need a small spacer for strut clearance and roll the fender as well. He has sold many 9.0" +45 rims for the GS front, but the 9.5" front I have might be a little too close to the front strut without a spacer since it will be 6mm closer to the strut.

hi. i have tein CS coilovers, which is thicker than stock oem shocks... how much worse will it make my inside clearance be?
damn i don't want to run spacers because of all the issues i've read on this board but i love these wheels so much
also asking if you have a picture of the inside hub of one of the wheels. i want to see how much space there is for KICS spacers.

If you use a hub centric spacer with extended studs I wouldn't worry about using up to a 10mm spacer. In fact, due to the staggered front and rear size and both being +45 offsets, I needed a 10mm spacer up front for it to look even (Flush wise) with the rear.
A KICS Project spacer or ANY other spacer with build in studs will NOT work with these rims unless they are about 20-25mm because there is NO room for the stock stud protrusion on the rims hub. The rim hub is flat. That was the first thing I looked at when I got the rims
