the nuts that hold my tire were all lose is it normal?

It's not normal It's dangerous You need to replace the lug nuts and the wheel studs I experience this trouble.

No, this is a problem that will cause tire wobble and eventually shear off the bolts. The bolts are probably stripped which is why they won't tighten further. Need to replace all the bolts for safety reasons. (Be sure the rim itself is not dented inward as well.)

POSS WILL NEED NEW RIM IF LUG HOLES A HOGGED OUT
