I used, and would reccomend using loctite on the studs.
Did you torque down the nuts correctly? They should only be @ ~90lb opposed to stock ~115lb.. Torquing them too tight could be pulling out the studs, and is dangerous to drive on. My brothers wheel snapped off the studs on his 350z (which come stock) because the tire shop torqued the nuts too much.
