I've always thought if you were to over tighten the nuts, that it would be the nuts that take the stress of breaking, not the studs. I remember replacing some studs on my 350z to longer one and I'd use my impact gun and some old nuts to draw the stud in. It took a lot of force and the nuts would also damage a little and give way and the studs would always look fine...
So with this said, are you guys saying that overtime from over tightening nuts it's causes stress on the actual stud to snap like that? And what's the chance of them all going. I'd think one maybe, but I'd like to think the wheel should remain on fairly well with 3/6 nuts secured to the studs properly.
Also, I've been dealing with wheels as a side thing since a kid for the last 10 ish years now and I've used the cruiser as a show truck when selling wheels. So with this, I've had about 30-40 different sets of wheels on it, driven too on many for a while and removed, and the studs still look brand new. I must admit for years I've just tightened down the nuts with a strong arm but couple years ago changed to a torque wrench and realized just how much I was tightening them down prior. Rookie mistake I guess...
