I wonder if it was truly the Nissan lugs. If the studs aren't pulled all the way through and the wheel torque drops with driving, you'd break the spacer. I can't see how a wheel would put any additional force on the hubcentric ring if all 5 lugs are properly torqued. My winter wheels have plastic hubcentric rings that sit flush with the spacer hubcentric rings. If there was pressure there, all the plastic rings would have been destroyed when I took off the winter wheels this spring...but they were all fine.
