[QUOTE="fiveoh2go, post: 9223401, member: 23337"] The ARP studs have a longer threaded shank length than the stock lug nut can thread onto. Since the stock lug has a closed end it will bottom out on the end of the stud before clamping the wheel down onto the hub. Not good. I just picked up some regular "old school" open-end lug nuts like these: [IMG]http://www.jegs.com/images/photos/300/306/306-5350-4.jpg[/IMG] The open-end lugs will thread all the way up no problem and I bought mine in stainless steel for the corrosion resistance factor. As for getting by without the fenders being rolled, some guys can and some guys can't. Ford build tolerances FTL :??:. Mine were rolled in anticipation of possibly running a larger wheel/tire combo in the future and the added peace of mind knowing for certain that my new $330 a piece tires wouldn't be getting cut up. Traction is good, but I'm only at 460ish rwhp. :shrug: [/QUOTE]
