Read your owners manual. Lug nuts are supposed to be torqued back on to a certain torque setting. Usually 80lbs/ft. Most impact/air wrenches hammer on to around 200lb/ft. This causes the lug but to stretch and deform, and also causes warping issues with the hub.

If you do your own changes, buy a torque wrench
Thankyou, dear grandchild. I was already aware of the proper technique for sucking eggs

Unfortunately, reading up through the rest of this thread, a number of people didn't grandad.

It's a thread about tyres and rimming. Tempers are bound to flare.
