Personal opinion, gotta be super careful taking the wheels on and off, I think the studs pick up crud easily and if you slide the wheel on the threads and hear a grating noise boom they're contaminated, gotta be more careful with this one than your typical car for some reason. Some people have zero problems despite heavy heavy usage, I think they're either lucky or very diligent due to past experience (and hence why they beat on this car so much). I switched to ARP studs and they've been pretty good for over a year now.
Here's what one of mine looked like after I got it off:
It's odd though, that stud doesn't look OE, and that nut definitely isn't. Are you running a spacer that has it's own studs in it like this?

Yea the only thing I could think of is crap in the threads. I did everything else right.
They are stock length ARP studs and oem nuts. The end just broke off after I hit it with the impact. I tried hitting the crap out of it with the impact but still nothing. It's so loose I can blow on it to turn it. Still won't come off.
