agreeI call BS on that guy, he's an idiot, find a different tire shop. I've never had a lug nut fall off and have always been able to change a tire on the side of the road.

So you've determined that the stud is spinning, not that the nut is stripped out, right? Otherwise, I'm confused...I’m going to see if I can get it welded to the hub. Went with 15” wheels w/ 4+3 offset and it looks like a welding rod would slip past the rotor and be able to put down a nice spot weld or three.

I take it the lug nut is galled on the threads and then the stud started spinning
Haven’t tried to get it fixed yet. Have to order a hub and line up a welder.Is the wheel still captured on the hub yet? Or you able to get lug nut removed ?
POIDHFinally got to seeing if a welder would work. The guy was able to hit it with a stick welder well enough that we were able to break the stud off at the hub.
Took all of 5 minutes.

If i where you since you got it off i would change nuts or something.If you cant get it off a home you dont have a chance in the woods. Remember what happens in the woods stays in the woods.
Anti-seize will be your friend. A little bIt goes a long way but I would do all 4 lug studs on all 4 wheels.I have a new hub and studs on the way.
