A missing lugnuts?

If I had 4 out of 5 lugnuts on my rear tires... what would happen? Anything bad?

I would think you would replace the missing lug nut.

It'll be fine. My friend raced w/ only 3 one one tire then again, he's not the brightest fellow. Another friend had only 2 lugs on one wheel on his integra (4 bolt pattern) and drove around like that for bout 2 months.

Re: A missing lugnuts?

When i went in for a driver test, they require 4 out of 5 or 3 out of 4 lug nuts on each wheel or better of course. Right before my test i panicked because i knew they checked that and i noticed one was missing.

Why not get another set. autozone has em for a dollar each.

It will be fine aslong as you don't launch too hard, or drive on the highway any... Go buy a new set or something though.

If by bad you mean the wheel working loose and falling off; then yes.
We had a Ford half ton in our shop recently that required over $2000 worth of repair and body work because a rear wheel worked loose. Safety inspection here requires all wheel studs and nuts to be in place.
