These wheels and tires are not from the kit. They are Dunlop tires mounted on some parts box rims I had rolling around. I think the stance is gonna be okay.

Installed with Micro Krystal Klear. I did the turn signals and reverse lights with the Krystal Klear, too. They should be less white when it dries. The red is Tamiya Clear Red.

You can tell there is a color change going on. After I get finished with this, I'll get some outside pics and a short video on a turntable to show the color change.
