[Guff]

The first stud I broke was from factory torque. It was the first time the wheel was ever taken off.

The two recent ones have been on a wheel that was removed and put back on, and they were put on carefully, in a star pattern. The torque wrench I used has not been recently calibrated, however, it has been used on a multitude of cars other than mine and has not proven to be a problem.

In regards to the anti-seize, I'll do more research on that, but for now, I will keep it dry and see if I can't get my torque wrench calibrated or something. I guess I'll look into getting better studs as well.

Also, if I get new studs, can I retain factory lugs? I see that many of the aftermarket studs are extended, would those require a open lug nut?
