I assume the ARP studs are stronger? If so then you may aswell upgrade

I had bolts, not studs, snap on my Clio on track. The cause was they came loose, and I assume the force of the wheel is sitting on the threads rather than the stud itself (the concave mating surface) causing them to snap.

As above I would replace them all, apr do them but I think they may be extended?

Picked up studs from Honda. I'm after a decent make of wheel bearings now. Called around some motor factors and they are mentioning names for ones I haven't heard off.

SKF is a very good brand if that has been mentioned.
