[QUOTE="Jr24, post: 1291275, member: 25237"] Usually, broken studs happen either when someone gets crazy tightening the lugs with an impact or when the lug nuts are left loose and allowing the wheel to move slightly. Leaving the lug nuts loose would probably have caused a vibration and possibly damage or wear around the lug holes of the wheel, so most likely the lug nuts were overtightened. Like others said, the surface rust forms almost instantly on exposed untreated metal and is nothing to worry about. If the broken studs appear to be rusting from the inside out, my guess is that when they were tightened to the point that they stretched and were starting to fracture and then moisture found it’s way into the fracture causing rust before the stud broke completely.
