The olny thing that I know that would cause that is if most of the nust came loose.

Could also be a case of overthigtening with an impact wrench causing metal fatigue, or you have a monster engine.

The tapers on the lug nuts need to match the tapers on the rims, especialy alloy wheels, or the studs can snap.
