Had a look first thing this morning and found a broken wheel stud and the 3 other normal wheel nuts were a bit loose, locking wheel nut was fine though

Is possible dd but on my mk7 i was tightening the nuts up and a few of them weren't getting tight and the bolts sheared like yours, probably from being over done many times, the worrying thing was that the fact that it was easy to tighten until snap, that suggested that rather than just fail, my bolts stretched and probably split more and more, I think that I could have happily just left it and it popped off when I was driving or a bump etc. Luckily they are hub centric so only needed to keep the wheel on the hub.
There are ppl with wellers on that the centre isn't touching
