ha, it was me. It all lies on my shoulders. I don't know what happened, they have been on tight for a good 2 months and all of the sudden they backed out, idk. The existing lug nuts look fine as well as the studs. The rim looks okay too. I can see if I just didn't tighten one right but don't you think they would have come off in less than 2 months time? Weird shit.

Do your rims sit firmly on the hub, or is there play? If there's play you can easily
torque the rim off center and it will eventually work itself loose. You should be tightening your lug nuts while the tires are still off the ground. When you feel their as tight as you can get them by hand(because the wheel will eventually turn) give the tire a couple good kicks and make sure it doesn't settle in anymore.

Then drop the car until there's just enough weight on the tires to keep them from spinning while you torque them down... then drop them all the way and recheck torque one last time.

Hub centric rings will help if they are applicable.
