Gotta be the wrong offset unless your running really long valve stems

I ran these same exact wheels with zero issues. Possibly like Jrockk stated, wrong offset. Jay

Not sure what you mean by "TSMS are mounted on inside of wheel...". Maybe I'm missing something here, but if you're talking about the pressure sensors/valve stems, they're mounted on the outside of the wheel. Unless you mean the wheel weights & in that case, there should be plenty of clearance. I have the Manta's on my '05 Z51 with no clearance problems & don't recollect anything other than the standard offset. Have you called Cray to see what they say?
