Hey Rick, thanks for reaching out. When replacing wheel studs we mainly look at the thread diameter, overall length and knurl diameter. If we can match those three specs, you can be sure you are getting the correct replacement stud.
For example, the DeeMaxx Drive-In Wheel Stud # DE52GR is 2" long and has 1/2"-20 threads. The knurl diameter is 0.545". If this doesn't match what you have now, let me know those specs for your studs and I am happy to look into it and see if we have a match.

I bought one first that was about a half inch too long, then I ordered the correct shorter one. They’re cheap and it was my mistake so I didn’t bother returning the long one. It hammered into my wheel easily enough, and now I feel a lot better with 5 bolts holding my boat trailer wheel on than 4 (one of the two wheels was missing a stud when I bought it from the previous owner).
