I just cracked one stud off one of the rear wheels. So now only four lug nuts are holding down the wheel. Do you think this will be safe to drive for 1 day through the city?

 

I personally think it should be fine. This happened to me once before. The tire shop had overtorqued the lugnuts with the impact/air gun. The next time I took off the lugnuts, the stud just snapped off inside the lugnut. I drove like that for 2 days before taking it back to the tire shop.

 

Ditto. Happened to me before. Shouldn't be a big deal. Just get it fixed ASAP.

Disclaimer: Drive at your own risk.

 

man you guys are the best! thanks for relieving my paranoia.

 

You should be fine. A lot of Hondas only have four lugs.

Use a torque wrench to avoid this happening again.

 

lol. you know what, i was thinking the exact same thing after it happened. great minds think alike.
