Have you tried tourqing them to 100 lbs. instead of just getting them as tight as you can?

Do you have spacers back there? If they are not hubentric they will cause that issue time and time again, and also ruin your studs. Just my .02.

No such thing!...haha Hubcentric spacers are custom fit per application. They slide over the lugs and stay very tight on the axle and have a lip that mimmicks the axle for the wheel to slide over for a tight secure fit. Non-hubcentric spacers are just wide open discs that slide over your studs. Notice the center areas are diff.
Here are links Hubcentric : nonhubcentric
