I used 5:00x 5 tires on my KR, then installed the wheel pants for an RV-6. Obviously the intersection fairings for something like an RV-8 will come closer to fitting. I've got a web page dedicated to the wheel pants and intersection fairing construction and installation, including my fix for the chronicle cracking mounting brackets. <http://jeffsplanes.com/KR/2013_Fairings.html>;

If I’m making new brackets, I’m thinking of gaining the reported speed increases with the RV “pressure recovery” style. I have 5.00x5 tires on N133RM.

Q1: Which pants “size” did you install? There are 2; one for the RV12 model and the other larger one for everything else.

Q2: What tire size do you have?

And I guess Q3: Can you share any information about how you mounted them?

Thank you.
