It's good to retorque ALL your lug nuts periodically.

torqing is not the issue. they are the wrong lockers. there are many threads on this issue.. search for them. the lugs you have are for the 350 and are not long enough, so they are bottoming out on the stud and not actually holding anything. you're lucky if you havent broken a lug off or the nut inside the wheel so far.. a ton of people have had this happen.. including me.
go to nissan and have them order you the right locking lugs for free. i cant believe dealers are still installing the wrong lockers. |

 If you re-torque them they will snap in half and leave you screwed. That's what happened to me in the 1st week of ownership. Get them off and get the correct locks on there!

 If not, they are the wrong locks and are not designed to work with the 19" Rays sport wheel.

 and confidence was the emotion portrayed. do you honestly have any doubt that ALL 4 LOCKERS BEING LOOSE could be a coincidence? or just maybe its what myself, and prob 30 or more others... having the EXACT SAME PROBLEM, which having sparked numberous threads, of which i have read every word posted.... have enperienced. OP, hope in the end i helped out and many MANY apologies for assuming.I think you just might be assuming your self that the 19" rays were the only ones theyre not designed to work with as youve said above.. because i certainly had this problem and dont have 19" rays. carry on all
