Seems to be a lot of people on here that have had this issue. I'm worried now as I just swapped rims over (yesterday) and had a hard time undoing the nuts because they were too tight!
Hopefully all is well because I've had other situations like this in the past where nuts were over done and no issues.
Just make sure the rear ones are centred on that small lip and torque them up and you should have no problems, its that small lip causing trouble. last shop didn't centre mine right and came loose. they'll loosen in first 20 or so K so re tighten, should be ok after that

Is this just a sh!tbox GU thing??? Ive never had any problems with my GQ alloys

G'day Jeffan, New to the foru, hence late reply.
Had LHF wheel depart compant with the rest of the vehicle in my 2008 3.0 CRD Wagon late in 2009.
Damaged the body and brake disc, wrecked wheel, all in all no fun.
Contacted Nissan who said that they had never heard of the problem before and that it must have been due to incorrect fitment, explained that I had tyre industry experience and knew how to fit up and torque wheel nuts.
Nissan would accept no liability so I was left to wear it.
Funny enough they had a recall for my current 2010 CRD Wagon to fir wheel nut position indicators.Best of luck with your claim.

a mate has had it happen to his land cruiser and I’ve seen it on a navara also but couldn’t tell you if it was caused by the same issue
when it happened to us we had not been informed about the recall yet nissan wanted nothing to do with us but our insurance covered it thankfully but i think it was because of not having been told about the recall that they did, lucky to as we would have been out of pocket around 4grand in damages
my LHS rear tyre come off when my wife was driving turning right at a round about, this is on an 02 GU, I rang a few boys in my club & 2 asked if it was the rear left wheel, apparently common issue with the GU, it had happened with me in it when it had alloys but I felt something was wrong & stopped, found the issue & tightened them, when it happened to the wifey it had steel rims on, munched the rim, tyre, rotor, sheared 3 lugs, bent 2 lugs & damaged 1 pad, of coarse this happened at 5pm Friday, I was going away for the weekend, she was 300m from home, I put the spare on & spent 30 minutes limping it home very, very slowly.
That night I pulled it down so I knew the real damage, spent all Sat morning on the phone & Sat arvo on the road driving all over Sydney getting all the bits & pieces I needed to repair it. In went 5 new lugs (genuine) 6 new wheels nuts (genuine) new pads & rotors (both sides), rotors priced in at between $180-$400 a pair, new rim & repaired tyre that is now my spare, about $450 later & a loss of a complete weekend the wifey had it back as the school bus for Monday morning, I rechecked the LHS rear Monday arvo & it was good, same a week later, I have been extra diligent with that tyre since
I'm guilty of not checking my nuts every week, but if I did, would it still be an issue?
