okay just found this broken after taking back tire off. My back tires are warn down so much from being lowered and my car started vibrating really bad. Which i assumed vibrated off a lug nut and driving without a lug nut broke the stud it was on?
Does that sound like the reason it was broken?

now are these easy to fix? Can i just buy one?

Yep, they bang out the broken one and put a new lug on. I recommend going OE replacement because my dad's Tahoe had 2 broken lugs and they ended up replacing them with some cheap POS that only threads 1/2 way and the rest gets cut off, needless to say, he wasn't able to put his 20's back one because the threads didnt go out far enough.

ya the hardest part was waiting for the wd-40 to soak in at there the brakes connect to the car as those screws didn't want to come out you will need a 19mm socket a 14 mm socket and.....a jack to lift your car....and well that's it...and a hammer.....oh also some spacers so that you can put on a lug nut over the new one and start screwing it in and pray that you aligned the grooves right because i didn't align mine right and it slipped off and i had no choice but to break it off again and put in a new one.....wasted a locking lugnut
so since these tires are wider the shop says if they do an alignment there is a good chance that my tires will rub on the fender. So I guess its time to get them rolled. I found a shop that will roll them for 20 dollars a fender. Although they make me sign a waiver incase any paint chips happen..
What do you guys think.. Get them rolled?

if you aren't that low they won't rub. i barely had to roll mine in the rear and i am dropped quite a bit. and if they make you sign a waver, that just means they are probably going to chip it



so I wont have to get new tires once a year.
