my lug nuts stripped and my tire fell off while i was driving. long story short need to replace the rotor more info to come on that. but my other 3 tires look like those lug nuts are backing off. what would cause that on all four corners? are there like locking lug nuts i can get so they dont do that or what? i just got new rims and tire. unsure of the backspacing, but when i put the lug nuts on they tightened all the way down and were on like they should be.

 

Probly didn't get torqued. Need to be 100 lbs.

 

i agree

 

lol that sucks bad. i'll go over my other 3 tires again. does anyone know the size of the nut (spindle nut?) inside the hub so i can replace my rotor and such.

 

not being properly torqued or wrong lug nuts will cause that

 

there we go!!! thats the kind of stuff i'm looking for. lol how would i know if they're the wrong ones? they're the same lug nuts i had from my other rims and tires. i went from steel to aluminum rims though. would that make difference?

 

What type of wheels are they? They're or numerous type of lug nuts on the market. Conical, ballseat, etc. You made have to research online to find out what they require but normally when the wheels are purchased it will say what type is required

 

i'll have to get on american racing's website and see what they recommend. with the wheel. theyre american racing rims, but i got them from a guy on craigslist. i dont know what model number they are.

 

Check the seat of the wheel and compare to the lug nuts you have, sometime visually you can tell, but most of the times they will list what lug nut should be used. Top of my head I'm unsure what they require. Also make sure you torque to 100-110 ft lbs and retorque in 1 week. I also usually retorque within 1 week, and then recheck every few weeks

 

yeah, i just crossed the week mark of having the wheels. i appreciate the advice. this was a rough day lol about to pull into work and off it pops.
