**DIFFERENT WHEEL** still working on getting my other wheel off from last post.

Taking a mental break and working on the other wheels and when inspecting this one the lugs came off completely normally and I do not see any visible damage on the studs or threading of the lugs but would still appreciate a second opinion before I throw this wheel back on and move on to the next.

Follow up to my previous post. I am currently in the process of replacing all my wheel studs and am having trouble getting this last lug nut off. Whether i try to tighten or loosen it, it just spins and i am unable to pull it out with pliers.

UPDATE: Gave it everything I had with no luck. Was able to confirm the lug is spinning with the stud. Will be going at it again tomorrow and trying to use a sawz-all to cut the stud from between the hub and rim. Thank you so much to everyone who is giving advice, I appreciate everyone's help trying to get me through this.

Made a pretty big mistake by accidentally torquing my lug nuts down to 180lbs rather than 80lbs and it ended up causing one of my studs to snap before I realized my mistake. Wondering if I should just take precaution and replace all of the studs that didn't snap or just the one that did. Or would it be better and less hassle to just replace the entire hub assembly.

Really smacking my head right now.

Wondering if it is worth it to spend an extra $72 on the PSAS4's. I am going to get them installed at Costco and the Michelins come out to $812 while the BFGs are $740. I have heard very good things about both but am leaning towards the Michelins. Let me know what you think.

Located in the north bay area of CA. Crawled across my desk and startled me so I smooshed it out of reflex. Just wondering what species this is and am hoping it's not venomous. Fangs look pretty large.
