[QUOTE="4play, post: 1391514, member: 7223"] You said the lug stud was missing along with the locking lug nut? I highly doubt that was broken during a possible theft. What I have seen on a few chevy trucks and others with aftermarket wheels is the aftermarket wheels are not hub-centric, they rely on the lug nuts to center the wheel and carry the full load/weight. The problem with that might be that the lug stud is designed to only hold the wheel tight to the hub, and maybe not totally designed to carry the load of the truck. This theory will be exaggerated with aftermarket wheels that are larger diameter and offset. A hub centric wheel distributes the load directly to the hub with the center hole and not the lug nuts/studs. If you did it right and bought the hub centric adapters for the wheels then disregard what I said above. And I will still believe that maybe the lugnuts were never torqued properly causing them to fatigue, loosen and break. [/QUOTE]
