Ok so I tried this whole fitting KTM-wheels on a Beta myself today.
First off, in the rear, yes... shaving off just over 2 mm off the right spacer will let the wheel fit perfectly, aligning the sprocket just right. I found a couple of old spare spacers so physically tried this. So other than this, as we all already know, it's just the rear brake disc that needs changing and according to earlier posts it seems like the larger KTM bikes (690 and maybe bigger?) use 240mm discs that should fit right on. I have yet to confirm that.
In the front all you have to do is use Beta spacers on the KTM wheel. Also the front disc looks identical to my KTM-disc, bolt holes and all. Haven't actually mounted one but I really can't seen where a potential problem would arise.
So, hope that clarified things.
