Just went in for an oil change and tire rotation and was told they couldn’t rotate due to swollen lug nuts.
Apparently, you did not change the air in your tires from summer to winter air in time and now you are facing the consequences.
Seriously though, I have never heard of this. What would cause a lug nut to swell? Temp change can cause some expansion and contraction but at this time of year that should be noticable.

Probably from brake heat swelling the coating up. What a crap arse design. I read the OP thinking there's no way a nut can "swell" just from being on a wheel hub and yet here I sit corrected.
