not fallen off yet then? does it depend on the width and offset of the whell as the lower the ofset the further away the wheel is so less depth for the screw and the widder it is the same will occur?
what width and ofset you got 3cm?

you should always use alloy studs with your alloys cos the metal that ure original studs are made of are too hard and this can cut into ure alloys. with botha alloy nuts and alloy wheels the metal is soft so they both kind of grip together
