Weld Drag Star stuck on studs

Are you using the aluminum spacers under the nuts or are the nuts against the wheel? Directly from Weld they recommend torque spec of 135 with 5/8 studs. My pro Stars which are 3 piece slide right on and off, much better than with shanked lug nuts and small studs.

I am using the washers under the nuts. Not sure why it happened this time. Tires had been on about 25 passes since rotated. Normally these had slid right on and off also, on the 5/8th studs.
Will rotate them more often, and watch them to see how they look next time.
I did put some antiseize on them also.
