Bad wheel snapping off my studs??

I made a similar post in the wrong section so hopefully I will get an answer here.

So to sum it up in one post.

A loud clicking/squeaking (I can't quite describe it 100%) noise has been coming from my front right tire. What ever is making this noise caused 3 of my studs to snap off while driving. After I changed all the studs and changed the rotor (Thinking bad rotor might have been the problem). The noise still existed. I then rotated the front tires to the back and now the noise is gone from the front. BUT now I hear a similar noise in the rear of the car.

What can this be? My friend told me my rim could be bent, and that might be causing it to grind on the studs. But from what I have read all over the internet a bent rim can't cause this to happen. Or can it?

If the noise moved to the rear it's pretty obvious that it has something to do with the wheel or tire. Have it checked by a professional.

Properly torqued lug nuts? Sounds like the lugnut seats on your wheel are hosed, that or wrong seat style.
