As long as you can get at least 6-8 turns of the lug nuts you'll be fine. If not you'll need longer studs but I don't think that should be the case without spacers. I'd check still check it though, better safe than sorry. Just go slowly and count your turns when you're putting a lug nut on to make sure you're getting enough thread to keep them tight.

Being flush is the hard look to achieve ... Thats why everyone keeps talking about it . Its not easy to execute
fitment has to be right as well as tire size ... if you are running 285 in the rear now then you are going to need a shave forsure unless you dont lower it enough ...
and why 285's ? whas the big difference with 275's ? I had a 235/35 on a 10

not bad, i'd go lower in the front obviously but you knew that. i'm not sure about the rear though, unless you move down a size or two and get a little stretch action going that's gonna be a tight tight fit.

i agree that flushness is hard to achieve, but i just went with a 285 b.c the tire wasnt much more in price differ with the 275. And the differ wasnt that drastic from 275-285 in width it was very unnoticeable. i already got the shave and it only cost me 80 bux
and it loooks really clean shaved. I got the shave mostly for the added weight incase i have any in the back.
well ill see sup with the lugs once i get to the shop!!

You look like your gonna have the same problem I have. I dont think shaving is going to be enough with your car. Shaving will improve it but I think it will just bring the rubing outward towards the sidewall and the lip of the rim. I am going to get some more fender work done tomorrow I will let you know what happens.
