you'r probably not used to the noise that the stiffer sidewall on lower profile tires transfers to the chassis, factory wheels with factory backspacing shouldn't require any spacers or anything else

Nah, caliper issues would be if you were trying to put the 14's on a gsx, that wouldn't fit.
glad I could help

did you have them balanced before you put them on? Are your lugs nice and tight?
GSX wheels are 17" btw, you have a set of GS/GST wheels.

try rebalancing/rotate them, might take out some noise
Edit: double check your pressure too, too low or high can make funny noises
