Holy cow! That is unfortunately very interesting and potentially very dangerous. How long had they been like this do you think? Were they improperly tightened by the shop? Good luck!!!

Nismo 65mm studs...with spacers you only have like 2-3 threads holding on the wheel. Your lucky

No... not enough threads engaged to keep them on.
You should have 9 full turns of thread engaged.

Same thing happend to me when i put 5mm spacers, but only my wheel started to shake and when i check sure enough i was mising 3 lugs and one came off by hand. I dont know how in the world you did it with 10mm spacers! The longer studs should of come with the kit.. Thats kinda weird.

Just get spacers that come with studs.

I have 15mm Project Kics on mine and the studs were already pressed into the spacer.

There's a forum sponsor, Ichiba, that also makes hubcentric spacers that come with studs:
