PLEASE help

I've put 17 x 11 with 315 on my car, and the seller gave me some chrome lug nuts. When I put it on it didn't seem tight enough so I tried to tighten it a little more and than took it for a ride and when i came back i wanted to take the wheel off and see if there is any scratches on the tire which would show me that it's rubbing against something. when i tried to take the wheel off i broke one of the pins.
PLEASE tell me it's easy to replace that pin.
How to do it?

It's done. Wasn't that hard. If only someone told me to release the brake before trying to take the discs of.

You should be using a "bulge nut".... Regular nuts will go in to far and damage the wheel....

Bulge nut..



Regular nut....



See the "taper" end difference.....

It's not hard to replace a stud. Just go get a new one from Auto Zone or something, knock the old one out with a hammer (you might need a rod to push it through the hub) and then hammer the new one in from the back side of the hub. The studs are not even two dollars each.
