My car is in the shop
So last night me and my friend took my 18's off and put the stockers on. We had a problem with the passenger side rear tire. Eventually after trying to get the lugs on, 2 studs striped out. It turns out that there was a wheel spacer on there. There are no other spacers on any of my rims but that one. So i had to drive home on 3 lugs and to my mechanic this morning. I couldn't put them in a triangle pattern cause the 2 striped ones were right next to eachother. I had to leave my car at the mechanic today and have my pops give me a ride in to work. Acura has to order the studs and won't be here till tomorrow. This really sucks. I hate not having my car.

Cannot muster up much sympathy for you. But you learned some stuff like visual check before starting. I once saw a guy break off two studs before he noticed they were left hand threads.
