WAIT! WHAT???
You managed to break off the stud, using the lug nut, but had enough of the bolt left to still put the nut back on?
That means the bolt broke even though the nut was not seated in the wheel. If the nut was fully seated on the wheel the stud would have broken below the nut with it fully seated.
The only way I see that happening (if I am understanding this) is that you cross threaded the bolt and then overtorqued it.
OR you are changing between different sets of wheels and one set is thicker in the bolt pattern area than the other.
