When you say "venting" do you mean just allowing the tires to let in and out air between the tire and the wheel? If so, just a couple should be fine. That usually works for me.

I just glued up a new set of Moabs last night and I tried them before I vented them, way to stiff! So I drilled two small (3/32 maybe) and now they are perfect.

thats exactly what i meant. just letting the air out. i think i went a little big but i don't think it will matter much. we put 4 1/8" holes per wheel. thanks for the replies

Just be careful not to waterlog them, if they are glued.
