Yup. The reason for 4 studs being better than 5 - personal opinion...if 1 is loose or missing, its not as big an issue. If they are all torqued correctly they should hold mostly the same. Now if you have a big offset rim, there will be more leverage agaisnt and thus stress on the studs...thats when it starts to be a problem.
