I would just buy the new studs other wise you will have mismatching stud. Or they wont be the right size etc

But are the splines correct for the hub!What weight rating has a trailer stud got as compared to your proper car ones!
IMHO don't do it.

There must be a reason for the difference. If I skimped on price (to save very little really) I'd drive around in a constant state of fear just waiting for them to snap off. Buy yourself some peace of mind.

Secondhand wheels studs!
Good Grief, get the oil filter and the wiper rubbers while you are there.

I figure a used, OEM, wheelstud will have just as good (if not better), metallurgy than a brand new generic replacement from Repco.
How often do you change your wheelstuds for new ones Thunderbolt!

Yep just get some second hand ones,after all the ones on the car are old anyway.Unless you are goiung to replace all four corners you may as well go and get second ones and get a few extra for spares.
