FWIW, I have yet to break a wheel stud, but I've had to replace two so far due to the threads getting screwed up (which I'm attributing to Discount Tire). One was with the stock lugs, the other was with ones from Gorilla; pieces of the wheel stud threading ended up welded inside of the lugs. Luckily I was able to get them off in both cases!
I'm beginning to lean towards picking up some stronger studs if this keeps happening. That and I'm never going to that shop again. OP, the longer studs will require you to get open lug nuts.
