the offset is 5/8th but you have to have a wide swingarm to run the tire.brought the bodywork home to mock it up and i can sit back stare at it this helps me picture it for paint and graphics

Personally...I like the green. Some graphics to break it up a little might be fine but I wouldn't do too much. Once you get the front rim painted I think it will take on a whole different look. Keep the shine to a moderate level so it doesn't take away from the color shceme and this will look great...
