What size studs are you using? I always torqued my 1/2 inch studs to 75 ft lbs. You might be over torqueing yours. I had Moroso studs in my axles.

Using Moser Studs on Moser Axles.
Never had an issue with Breaking Studs before my incident.
Even replaced a pair of Moser Axles.

Our Impala's weigh 4000+ Lbs.
My car on good days cut 1.61 60ft times.

Changed my burn out process.
Once the tires are warm will walk out instead of powering out of the box.

110Lb torque should work for Aluminum wheels
