If they arent staying torqued, are you sure you are using the right lugs? If so, are they steel lugs or aluminum. Aluminums are pretty much only good for a few on/off times then they wont hold well at all but that still wouldnt explain why you are breaking wheel studs... just why the lugs wont stay torqued. Post some pics if you have them so we can see what exactly is going on.

If your going to run spacers make sure they are hub-centric and not universal. I have heard of the universals snapping studs. I would also suggest checking the length of the lug nuts and make sure they are not to long.
