help with wheel stud!
after the repair from hell, another problem arose. when i torque my rims down to 100 ft/lbs, one of the studs, wheel lugs will reach 100 (the wrench lets me know), but will want to keep spinning when i try to tighten it more. the other studs don't move at all once they reach 100 ft/lbs, but this one will turn a little bit and then the torque wrench will catch (since it's reached it's 100 ft/lb goal). does this mean the lug is stripped or what's going on?

my roommate just had that problem, i tried to tell him if it is spinning then dont tighten it down, his response was "theres 4 already on there, it will be fine", i forsee his wheel rolling off at 120mph, lol.
