Default 2x on replacing all the studs.

Good chance you over did it on more than these two, I'd replace all the studs. Cheap insurance.

Changed out the five in that spacer..... order 10 more for the other wheels....
And "Yes" I torque them down as per SpiderTrax to 80-90 ft lb

On another note I've called and left SpiderTrax 2 messages asking them to call me back and neither have been returned...... hmmmmm, not asking for anything just want some questions answered.

I also took the the first broken stud to where I worked to have our Failure Analyses guy take a look at it...... waiting for the results.
His thoughts without putting it under a scope though is metal fatigue do to contamination..... interesting
