My wheel studs snapped on my front driver side and my lug holes became damaged. They're not circular anymore. They very in degrees of damage.

I'm getting the studs fixed tomorrow and need advice on whether to use the spare or the damaged rim.

I have a used rim in good condition on its way but for the next 2-3 days I have the option of the spare or damaged rim.

Will using the bad rim damage my studs?

Should I put a spare on the back left or right and two good rims on the front?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

About all factory wheels are hub centric, as well as aftermarket wheels with hub rings. I would reuse the old rims, just tighten the lugs tight before dropping it off the jack and torqueing to spec.
