so..after a long search..no1 had pics or any applausable help..

here are pics and real reasons why the 08 wheel doesnt fit the pregen swingarm. doesnt bother me though cuz i orderd the 08 swing arm/caliper and bracket. i jus wanted to know why it doesnt fit...
this is more for you budget guys not you fancy fairing perfectionists.

my 2004 wheel/tire wheighed 33lbs

the 2008 wheel and tire weighed 31lbs. both had brand new tires.
oddly enough they have the same wheel design. one is a 16" one is 17" though.

my 08 wheel came with jus the rotor, no hub or rubber thing.
the pregen rubber dealy and hub fits into the 08 wheel.

hubs are the same minus the 08 wheel is wider on the side. thats where it is wider. as you can see 08 wheel on the right

same caliper can be used

pregen axle bolt works jus fine

HERES THE DIFFERENCE

you would have to grind about 10mm off the inside of the caliper bracket to fit the caliper. or jus buy the 08 caliper bracket. calipers have the same bolt pattern. the pregen bracket hold the calipers at a dif angle(back) the newer bracket holds teh caliper forward.

the bottom of the caliper bracket the outside of it could be grinded down a few mm also to fit the chain tensioners

and sprocket side, the spacer could be grinded down to fit in the chain tensioner as well

without the chain tensioner and caliper the wheel fits perfect..except
grind the hub spacer and caliper bracket and you can fit the chain tensioners and caliper. non of that grinding/milling would take away rigidity from my guess.
i paid $150shpd for my 08 wheel with a brand new perelli tire on it
and $40shpd for the swing arm
$30for the caliper and bracket

il compare side by side the swingarms and weigh them also. which swing arm will be in the mail today
*EDIT* see entire thread for more info
