no the lug nut is rounded not the stud. Im not sure if anyone will take it out for me. My problem is that all three lug nut comes out but the fourth one is rounded and it wont come off.

HELP GUYS!!!

take a socket SMALLER than the lug nut. Slam it over the nut and use a wrench to take it off. as for the hole in your tire, you'll need a reamer kit. that'll fix your problem.
