Just checking to see if anyone has had issues with lugs nuts stripping out on their 5th gens? I rotated my tires this weekend and went to torque the lugs nuts to the 130 ft/lbs as suggested in the manual and I have at least 10 lug nuts that would not tighten completely. I sent my torque wrench out to get calibrated and it came back as being with spec. After looking at the lug nuts in question, I could see that the threads were definitely starting to flatten out. I ended up replacing them all with black McGard's and they all tightened up with no problem.
