Lug nut stud questions...

Welp, the '50/51 Flat Fender is just about on the road. Got the axle on, new used tires, and the brakes are up...for now. Couple questions though about wheel studs...

#1) At some point, someone swapped the hubs on the axle I installed. (or replaced them wrongly) Seems the right side has a left hub (backwards threads on the studs), and the left side has a right side studs. For light duty low speed driving that I will be doing at least for a while, is this something to worry about? I'm sure I'll be into the axle and brakes in the next year or so, so I could fix that then....is that OK?

#2) That darned drivers side rear wheel sure was a pain in the *** to get off....and I broke one of the lug studs off. Again, light duty low speeds...is this going to be a problem?I hate having only 4 out of 5 on there, but them 1/4" steel wheels look like they ain't gonna bend...but is it likely that other studs might follow suit? Of course, this is another item that I would be dealing with soon enough, but should I plan on fixing it sooner....? Of course, I'd be more worried about it if it was on the front...

Again, thanks for all the help both now and in the past!
