I fill my trunk every year for car shows and I am a big guy and I have NEVER hit.

I believe Cajun's offset is 44mm...correct me if Im wrong

Mine are 36mm - still have bumpstops, no hammering whatsoever. At stock height, everything was fine but I rolled the fenders before lowering it 2" just to be safe. Agreed, its all in the offset

It would set in towards the car further. You see guys with 50mm and 56mm offset wheels needing to hammer the fender wells... on the flip side, my ZR1s are 36mm so they set almost a half inch further out. I didnt need to hammer anything but I did roll my fender lips...

Yep, I love the way these fit, flush to the fenders and gives a killer looking stance. I considered widening my speedlines too but decided against it because its would be a pain IMO (gotta leave car on jack stands for a while, and then Id be afraid if it wasn't a quality job and the wheels end up cracking or breaking) and these are so inexpensive.

Nitto NT05 (not the NT05R, just the regular ones).
