I agree with @Schurkey’s comments on reuse but…

I bought new studs, just to be assured, $25 delivered from RA for qty 13 (I bought one extra).

if you cant confirm the old studs havent been abused by a dealer tech or PO, i would just do new myself. Just the fact a tiny drop of antiseize on a stud and being torqued by wrench at that point will ovetorque easily 40% or more, is enough to do that lol!

140ft pounds on a 100ft pound , for example , thats the difference between my cars 5 lugs 100ft and my gmt800 2500hd 8 lug wheels being 140!!!
I imagine the wheels would be damaged instantly in my car situation, and the rotor and studs being stretched too
