I wish I knew of this sooner man... would've saved me a lot of money before. Unfortunately, my case was more extreme and I actually ended up having to replace all 20 wheel studs and wheel lugs. This was in part thanks to a local tire shop cross threading *some* of my lugs onto the studs, however it slowly started happening to ALL of them out of nowhere, so I just replaced them all. I now run Muteki lug nuts on the stock studs and they feel more durable in my opinion; seems like the factory lugs can't be put on/off too often or else they go bad? I dunno... just thought I'd share [emoji52]
