    Hey John,

    Show us some photos of your swollen lug nuts, maybe we can help.

    Lug nuts can chip and rust from tire rotation. It's not a bad idea to replace them if it looks worn out.

    Is it true that it can happen? Yes.

    Is it true yours are? Maybe. You should be able to remove a couple and easily tell.

    The key beyond matching the threads is the TYPE of lug nut. The TYPE needs to match your wheel.

    Examples: Mag, conical, acorn, ball.........

    After that, its aesthetics.
