car: 00 civic EX 2dr
short version of this story:
was trying to clean my rear passenger side drum because it squeaked everytime i let off the brake pedal. one lug nut was giving me crap so i tried to break it loose and in doing so found out the hard way that the *** clown that put my wheels on last put this one lug nut on cross threaded. needless to say it broke the bolt off at the drum. question is can i drive it like this to where i need to go to fix it(3 lug nuts holding the wheel on)? also i have a 95 civic ex 2dr sitting in my driveway. anything swappable? im just not sure on the shape of the 95's drums.

yes you can drive safely, Personally I wouldn't recommend going on the freeway etc.. etc.. highspeed's in other words for your saftey and others..

 

its not AS bad on the back

i have one missing on the front, and almost lost a wheel the other day, every morning before i leave for work i tighten up the lugs on mine to make sure its on for the day.

it will make a nice CLUNK CLUNK VIBRATE if it comes loose.

good thing i have a parts car already so i can fix mine easily when i get the time

 

You can, I wouldn't do it personally; I'd get it fixed first.

 

i drove on 3 lug nuts for a good 4 months on freeway and on street never had a problem but i wouldnt recommend it

 

just buy a lug and change it...its easy in the back.

 

It's an easy fix, but it is pretty safe to drive around with 3 lugs. I did that in my da for like 3 weeks

 

just tell people you have a three lug conversion...haha...its pretty safe man...i drove my old car like that with the lug in the front broke...come to think of it...i never changed it b4 i sold it...drove for like 6 months on it though

 

appreciate the help, ill make sure it's nice and tight before i take off, i'm only going about 15 miles on it. it's getting fixed after i get to where i need to go.
