2 pac with clear coat. That preserves the red and stops from fading.
The brand name of paint was something beginning with L.... Some weird name!

Hey dude.
Do you have any updated pics with the widey wheels on?
I put 7s and 8s on my narrowbody, but had to use 25mm spacers on the front..weird. :wtf:

Rear 8inch widey wheels with 0 offset. Nice fit that fill the guards and side skirts right up!

Looking good. Horrible tail-lights though.
What widey wheels are you going to run at the front?

I plan on using the SHP 8inch +18 for the fronts. I will try the 7inch widey wheels to see how they look though as I have a couple in good nic.

I really don't understand how a 9" SHP wheel 0 offset fits a flatty but not a 8" with -10 offset??
The 9" wheel should stick out 1/2inch from the one shown, but the 8" -10 should stick out 10mm further out. But in reality, the 8" (-10) sticks outside the guard and the 9 " doesn't.
Can someone please explain??

And for the conquest taillights, I really like the look of them. The red blinker lense is just cleared and the clear globe is replaced with an orange one!
The Euro look is not my cup of tea!

There should be a 2.7mm difference in the backspacing of the wheels (9" 0 offset sticks out 2.7mm more than the 8" -10)
So I don't get it myself, Mal.

Are you sure you haven't got the wheels confused? I think I remember reading that the normal rear 8's have a little more dish than the SHP 9's, but the SHP 9's have a more concave spoke.

I don't meant the front wheels either, as they're obviously way less concave.

I've got all variations on the widey wheels now...
the 7"+18, 8"+18(SHP front), 8"+0 (Jap. rears) 8" -10(US + Euro rears) and 9" +0 (SHP rears)
When I get time I will do a compaison with pics and see whether the wheels fit under the guard!
But it has been documented on the forum that the 8" -10 stick outsde the guard and the 9" sit flush! :? ???
