Fronts need to be thread in, rears can be press in. I use rears from an "01 camaro for the rear in my car.

Mazdatrix sells wheel studs. http://mazdatrix.com/getprice.asp?partnum=04-7902-0000

I don't know why you would want to use press-in studs when there is perfectly good threaded holes. Only GSL-SE used a press in stud in the rear.

Well... there is a good chance the perfectly good threaded holes you're on about didn't exist

I would certainly hope he had threads in the rear and the rear lug bolts weren't just held in with hopes and wishes.

I swapped due to having 2 stripped holes per rear axle. The previous owner had no idea of his own strength I reckon.
