Damn...
Coming home from school a few minutes ago, my car started vibrating. Thought I had another flat tire. But it turns out the lug nuts in both rear wheels [all 10] were loose. Some of them were so loose that I could move them with my fingers!
WTF!
I had torqued them to 80 ft lbs a few days ago. But I also noticed when I was installing my spacers a week ago that they kept on getting loose as they would never stay put after each round of torquing.
The car is sitting on 4 brand new Project Kic [built-in studs] spacers [all around]. The weird thing is that my fronts are perfect... they haven't loosen up at all.
Could it be that my rear lug nuts are going bad? Maybe the threads on the studs of the rear spacers have oil on them? Any ideas?
Luckily I was only going 30 mph when I started to feel a vibration. Good thing I wasn't on the freeway
p.s. could this have done any damage to the studs on the spacers?

They are the same rays lug nuts I have been using on the stock studs and GT-S for many months.
As far as the spacer, everything is in Japanese. But here are the specs stated in the rear of the box:
"5110W3" (part number??)
"5H / P.C.D 114.3" (bolt pattern??)
"149 (?) / 67 (?) / 10 (mm??)"
"M12XP1.25" (stud specs??)
