Hey everyone i got a big problem. My 240sx has a blow out on my front passenger tire last week. I attempted to change to a spare. After removing 3 of my lug nuts i came across the last lug. I though i losined it, but the lug just kept on spinning. I must have spined it over a hundred times. Then i finally realized the stud was spinning with the lug nut itself. So what can i do now. My car is stuck out there on a flat tire that can't be taken out cuz of that last lug. Plus my lug nut is a magnum deep lug about 2 inches deep into the wheel. Please send me some help or some helpful advice so i can be on my way to get my car home. thx

There is stuff you can use to plug holes in tires and there are 20 dollar air compressors that operate off your cigarette lighter

Yea i put in air but it wasn't no good to drive back. The tires were all lumpy and look like it is gonna blow. My stud snaped into the lug nut so i can't even put the spare on.

studs are cheap and easy to replace. I think you just hammer it out. you should be able to drive with 3 studs if you drive slow. you might have to take it to shop if your lug nut and stud are all in place. dont know what you mean by stud snapped into lug nut.

Uhh i guess i meant that the lug must off over tighten the lug so now it is loose. When i try to take the lug off the stud moves with it. so no matter how much i spin it it wont come off. Plus my lug is 2 inche in the stud because of my wheel. I wanted to break the stud off ror the lug but don't know how or what to do.

you're gonna have to cut the nut off. With the popped stud, you're probably in for a new hub as well. But first thing's first, you're gonna need to cut that nut off, you'll probably damage the wheel in the process to give you the heads up.
