Paging Dr. Miller and anyone else who might know

Will Torque Thrust 2 wheels clear the C4 brakes? I was looking at using 17 x 8" up front with the factory backspacing and just want to know of any clearance issues with the spokes and the caliper.

How about the longer wheel studs? Would I need to use a lugnut other than a standard lug?

The Dorman or ARP studs should work fine, even with the standard lugs. ARPs might be cutting it close.
