same damn thing! 3 lug nuts holding hte wheel one

I wouldn't worry about it; I did like 80mph+ on 3 studs on the way to the shop that was responsible for cross threading the lug nut in the first place...

It's OK, just carry around a tire iron to check the lugs when you drive it.

You'll be fine. Just get it replaced as soon as you can.

I feel your pain, I drove around for a couple of months on three lugnuts. Just don't be stupid.

you're saying lugnuts...but the wheel stud is broken, so the end of the stud is flush with the surface of the lug hole in the wheel.

Yes, that's exactly what I went thru. I fuked the stud because it was during an NHRA race and I had to keep on swapping out the tires and was pressed for time since they were calling our class.
