I just got my new wheels for the EX and mounting it yesterday , drove on them 30 miles from the shop to my home ended up with one broken stud and bent the other one . Got a
the wheels are lugcentric ( I just learned that )
What can I do to make them work on my truck ?
ls it needs an adapter to make it fit properly .?
Please guys what do ?
Your broken lugs are not from the wheels being lug centric, I have eagle alloys and pull my camper all across the country with no issues. It looks to me like they over torqued the lugs and they are snapping..

you mean it's safe to drive it like this truck Wight supported by lugs not the hub it self .

No and yes. No it's not safe to drive until you get your broken studs straightened out then yes my Excursion has lug centric aftermarket rims on it and it's fine. I would prefer if it had hub centric rims like they had on them from new but that is what mine came with. Also remember hub centric rims have only been used on Fords for around 15 years. Please correct me if I'm wrong on that. Good luck.
What could be good about driving a 4-1/2 ton vehicle on broken studs and missing lugs?
Get that thing towed.
Am already fixing it .
but my concern is the truck Wight on the lugs not the hubs .

Oh this thing scaring me to drive it like this ..
Is there any adapter to make it a bit more safer .?
I'd take them back and say they sold you wheels which don't fit.. 30 day money back guarantee?? They probably should NOT have sold them to you, but some folks sell stuff they don't really know much about.

It is safe to drive with lug centric wheels but with the lugs you are showing I would be scared about the rest of them. I think you are stuck checking or replacing each one. Did they have a teenager running the impact that day??

I agree. It is absolutely fine to run lug centric rims on these excursions but you had a problem with your installation. Probably over torqued. If you get the studs checked out and replaced it will be fine with lug centric aftermarket rims.
OEM Ford is pretty much all that is available. Many trucks run lug centric wheels without any issues. The lug nuts were over torqued or have been over torqued previously.
I'd replace all the wheel studs, torque to spec, and run it. Re-torque after 100 miles.

I am really not confident to drive it like this weight on studs , I was looking for solution and found a local shop makes steel hub centric rings .
I hope that will be a bit more safer .
I agree it should be safe after you put new studs on
