I think I know the answer but if I've calculated that I need 286mm left and 287 mm right spokes and have just found a box of 288mm spokes in a drawer... will the wheel explode? Double walled so room for a bit of spoke protrusion.
Doubt itll work. Nipples will bottom out leaving you with not enough tension. Just buy a box of 286mm
