Okay, that explains why all you had to do was the trim the cladding. The stock wheel is 38mm offset. I installed the same size tire as you did, but when I changed the wheel to the MKW M18 which is a 18 mm offset, I had to use a BFH on the rear cladding. One side is perfect, the other not so, but really only I can tell. I had the bars cranked so that it sit's level now and no problem with rubbing.
Since we are so close to each other, maybe we can get together sometime and you can see it. I contacted PHO2GR4 the other day to see when he has a weekend free. Maybe we can get togther then. Pretty sure totallto in Lakewood would be up for a brew and food with his nice looking ebony with the 21 incher's he just had installed.
