well recently was driving and lug nuts holding back left
Tire on backed up long story short rotor was riding my 22inch center line rims and so replaced rotor and studs and lug nuts ... New studs and lug nuts not working somehow.. Lug nuts keep backing out and becoming hand loose... Don't know what could be the cause of this.. Any answers please help..

I have seen this before, often the problem is that the steel used in the rims are very hard and the wheel nuts just don't bight in, you have to keep checking and re tightening these for a while until the nuts start to bight in and you will find that after a while they will stay tight, you may want to check out the taper of the wheel nuts and the mating taper of the rim, if these don't match they will never stay tight.
