Question
- i have a 1994 honda accord with 17 inch rims on it but when i put the rims on it bent my lug stud a little bit i was wondering is it safe to drive on the innerstate and just driveing it preiod

Answer
Hi Chris,

Rule of thumb - if it's broke fix it.

I don't recall wether that year has 4 or 5 studs, the more the studs, the better, especially if you have a stud stripped or in your case bent.

I've seen some people drive on 3 and some on 2! I've also seen a van and a truck both loose their wheels while driving at 75 mph!

Lugs are serious business, I suggest you get it fixed. Its better to spend a little money now versus losing an entire car or possibly even your life in a car accident.
