so yea i am forced to do so until i get new studs from nissan, that won't be till wednesday. any of you guys had experience running only 3 lugs on 1 wheel? is it safe for only couple days?

 

3 lugs = not safe

 

man you live in california.. just swing by a different dealership. i had one stud on the front and one on the back break off on me at the same time >???

found out the front studs are different from the back..(length)

the dealership only had one, so i drove up to another place and they had what i needed.

good luck and hope that wheel stays on !!

 

Could you take one of the studs from the other front wheel (if they are indeed different front to back) to give you 4 on each wheel? That works with lugnuts.

 

Maybe if went under 15mph everywhere, lol.

 

U cant be serious. Auto zone $1 a piece.
Advanced auto parts $1 and a quarter.
Please love ur car more.

 

I have 4 extra lugs if thats what you need.

i had 4 studs.. it's ok.. that's what the dealership said.. but 3 is dangerous...

 

If you do drive the car with only 3 studs, make sure you replace those too. You will have stressed them beyond their limits and made them quite weak. I had a buddy lose a wheel on the highway due to stud sheering and it was not a pretty sight.

be safe.
