Now if someoen did switch suds and drilled out the hub then you never know but i cant see anyone going through all that hassel for a wrong or different stud. Do this: Pick up 10 studs or get them from a junkyard....easy to get and pocket, the ones on a 1g might be the same. Pop one of yours out and test fit the correct stud. you will see on the stud the splines that cause the press fit, you should not be able to put them in by hand, it will require some type of force as previously discussed. Then you are fine. Picture would be great but unnessasary. you should be fine just changing out the studs. I am really curoius as to the size of the taper.....never seen any installed on an import compact car before..mostly trucks du to the large drums on the rear but we are talking 1" dia stud too...lol Terry 96 Eagle talon ESI Star Stage II - Boost/oil/EGT gauges 97 Eclipse Greddy header/evo exhaust - Stage 2 6 puck Sprung hub MIBA clutch - Shortened shifter - Koni Yellows w/eibach prokit - Stillen Fr/Rr swaybars - ceramic intake - DEI Keyless entry alarm - Niche 17" Shoks Waiting to be installed: Apexi AFC, HKS EVC IV, 450 Turbo injectors, SFMU/return line, GSX Front brakes (need rotors)

if it is in fact a taper, its VERY slight. like you wouldnt even notice it if you saw it in real life...
