liverpool - looks great.
you can mount that mic on the a-pillar corner at the top where it meets the windsheild for a cleaner look.
you wont have to remove the a-pillar cover itself, just peel back the rubber seal and gently push the cord
behind the a-pillar cover with a squeegee or something.

do this method and it'll F*** up your fenders. it'll be so uneven you'll be pissed off you even bothered not to mention you'll get wrinkles. I did this on my 240 and i HATED it. was one of the biggest reasons why i sold the car.
Prior to having these Enkei wheels, I used to run a 20mm spacer in the rear with my OEM wheels, so you should not have a problem.
Thank you sir. Did you run the type that bolt on? In that case, I'm assuming the OEM wheels do have the indentations. Or did you use you use factory studs/extended studs?
Don't quote me on this, but i think the only reason you have to worry about those indentations behind the wheel is for aftermarket wheels only. This is because most aftermarket wheels have lower offsets than OEM so you have to make sure the OEM studs will fit into those indentations. Not sure if that makes sense or not, lol, like I said don't quote me on this. But I know for a fact the 20mm spacer in the rear bolted on no problem whatsoever.

20mm might be enough to clear the stock studs, but I think they're 24mm, so i'm not positive on that. There may be a small indentation or something that allowed that 4mm to clear. 30mm would clear the studs no problem. Photographic evidence would be best.
Offset doesn't matter because the wheel back still needs to sit flush with the hub regardless of any part of the wheel design, but maybe i'm misreading your explanation/thoughts?

I installed springs this weekend and while doing so, confirmed large indentations in the rear of the OEM wheels in between the lug holes. So I should be able to get the spacers in without issue.
Would you recommend a 20mm spacer with OEM 16" wheels?

I ran the 20mm with the OEM wheels in the rear without any issue. I am not sure how wide you can go in the front, considering you are lowered, without rubbing. I was lowered with swift springs before and had no problems with a 20mm, but like I stated earlier it was only in the rear.
