Did he tell them before or after he took out a PTG to measure the car?

The actual stud is loose?

Try taking the rim off and taking an open ended lug nuts and tightening the stud down so it can seat properly. If it is just 1 stud (per rim) that is messed up than driving on it temporarily until you can get it fixed won't be a problem, but if it is more than 1 stud don't take the risk and get them replaced.

All of the studs move together uniformly? If so then your wheel hub is probably damaged.

I can't say for sure what it is without actually looking over the car, but it sounds like it has to be the wheel hub or the bearing if all the studs move together. Normally when bearings go bad they start to make a humming noise.

I'd guess the bearings must have gotten damaged when your tire hit the fender.
