After finishing up replacing my wheel bearing and hub assembly I find out that my driver side hub has a stud that's sheered off. I'm not sure if that happened because I drove it too hard or what... but I'm trying to decide whether I should buy the Nismo rear wheel studs and replace the stock studs on that side. Also I'm trying to decide whether or not I should buy 2 new rear tires for the stock TT wheels or if I should just buy the Nismo studs replace the driver side studs and install my 4 bronze MB wheels with tires? Opinions welcome.

By the way the driver side wasn't the side I was doing work on.. I'd b a dummy if I didn't notice a stud sheered off while I was replacing the whole hub assembly/wheel bearing. Also a good bearing and hub assembly can be had from Z1 for $140 not too bad if you ask me.

Do you need the NISMO studs? I'd just go ahead with an OEM replacement, but that's just me.
