Need help with lug nut...
I was changing my oil and when I was putting my rim back on I asked my friend to put the lug nuts on the car so I could tighten them. Well she has to be dumb and she didn't screw the lug nuts on she just pushed them on so they stuck there. Anyway I have an air compressor tool and i started to screw the bolt on. Well the lug nut stripped and the bolt stripped a little also. I'm going to try and get a new lug nut tomorrow and hope it screws on. Has anyone had this happen? I don't want to spend gobbs of money to get this fixed but I might just have to, which will suck. If you can help thanks.

It happened to me when I decided to tighten all my lug nuts on the ground as opposed to in the air and then torque on the ground. I had to replace the bolt. Just get another nut and bolt and put it on. You have to hammer the old bolt out.
