While my oem rims were coming off someone couldn't seem to get one lug off. While trying my friend broke the lug off with the bolt.
I was wondering if anyone has any sugg. as to what I should do
I think I will be ok with having 4 bolts on that one rims for now, but I want it fixed asap. Is there a cheap way to fix this? Thanks for any help.

yYour fine with 4 lug nuts. Just get it fixed.
Easiest way would be to take the rotor off and pound the stud out. Then replace it with a new one. You can either pound it back in there or have a couple of washers and thread it back in the hub.
I beleive the thread pitch on the stud is 12 X 1.25. Or just show the broken stud to a AutoZone or Pepboys. Mke sure you have the right diameter stud.
Good luck

I swapped the studs on the front of my car to run spacers. It's fairly easy. You remove the brake pads, then the calipers and then the rotors (which may need to be pounded off with a mallet). Then you can either press out the lugs or carefully knock them out with a hammer. The new studs can be pulled through with a lug nut and washers. It should be an inexpensive repair at a shop or something you can do at home without too much trouble. I haven't touched the back, but imagine that it's similar. If you do it yourself, you need to measure the knurl (the part that presses through the hub) and the length of the studs and of course verify the thread. I believe that the stock threads are 12mmx1.5, but double check that.

Just take the caliper off with the pads in it to save some time.
Your right , EVO8LTW, on the thread pitch. It is 12 X 1.50

I just had a simular but opposite problem: while installing new rims I used the included (wrong) lugnuts and stripped the studs. So, I dont have to remove the axle nut, just use a rubber mallet to knock off the disk after I remove the caliper?
12mm x 1.50 by what length for stock? Where might I find replacements other than the dealer?
