Went to take the wheels off my new Rallye yesterday and two wheel bolts sheared off (one on both front wheels). Is it safe to drive on three wheel bolts, properly torqued up, until I get it to a garage who can maybe drill em out?

I threw caution to the wind and drove for months with 3 bolts Smile I just invented my own factor of safety and decided Peugeot only used four bolts for fun
