The offset on the Moto's gives it a slightly wider stance than the Venti's, so ya, I had some rubbing going on even with a 2" lift. I shaved off a slice maybe 3/4" right at the bottom inside of the wheel well to make the proper clearance. Then I trimmed down the bottom of the flare too, and now I have a good 1/2 clearance with the wheel cranked either way. Took about 2 hours, and all I used was a sawzall and some HD scissors for the flares. You wouldn't know it without sticking your head into the wheel well that anything's even been modified. Just saved myself more down time and bucks on a lift upgrade. Cool. Just thought i'd share this with everybody.
