If you go through the work to remove the hub I would try to get 1/2 studs since you’re in there. It’s a little work to reset the preload and everything when doing the job. It’s also good measure to just go ahead and replace the bearings and races if it’s original. They are cheap and not hard to do.

Like I said , I called Dorman direct and they helped me get what I needed. Same spline size , 1/2” stud but the spline in longer than the old ones but they’ll work because the wheels are 1/2” thick and that more than takes up the difference. Other wise I was stuck with using the old wheels and that was not acceptable .
