I went to put my wheel back on and when i was putting a lug nut on i noticed it stopped halfway through.. so i looked at it and two of the threads appear to be smashed in... what should i do? i dont know how that happend, all i did was take the flat one off and put the donut on..

u have three options starting with the easiest

1. U pick the best lug nut out of the bunch and run it on, most likely it will straighten out the threads and u wont have a problem

2. If u have a die u can run it over the threads and staighten them out for sure.

3. Knock the old stud out and throw a new one in.

if it were mine I would try the first option, if it doesnt work than u can cut the stud behind the lug nut, knock it out and install a new one, but most likely it will be fine.

ok thanks... when you say "if it doesnt work.." do you mean if i cant just force it on there? im pretty sure i could probably just crank it on but i didnt know if that would fix it or be safe..
