Only 4 wheel studs,How safe?

I broke one of the rear wheel studs when changing a flat tire. How safe is the car with just 4 studs with regards tp speed . How fast can you go ?. Rear caliper is frozen( need to free the caliper to replace the stud)and hate to work outside esp.when its cold.

It' fine, I've been driving with 4 studs for over a year, & finally changed it!
Just make sure the other 4 are tight.

make sure the 4 are torqued down, and replace bad stud when u can. If you get down to 3. . . its time to change them asap.
