Only thing you can do is either buy a new wheel or just use the other 5 studs but be careful tightening them down so that doesn't happen again oh and check to be sure the rims not actually shot

I didn't even use an impact gun lol I was torquing them down to 150 foot pounds like the manual says and it wouldn't tighten. It was like the lug nut was getting stripped but it was the rim mushrooming out.

There's the lug nuts I got in case those are wrong. But summit racing insists those r the right ones.

I just torqued mine down to 140 on Friday and the force I was putting down was no where near what it would take to destroy a wheel I'd try a different wrench if you're doing that to them it's gotta be off

It's a brand new snap on torque wrench. Just calibrated from snap on to be within .2 foot pounds. I'll take some pictures tomorrow. Any chance the previous owner could have damaged them? There isn't that much meat holding those rims on
