Wheel nuts

Hi just wondering if there is any reason for my wheel nuts to become tighter? Fitted some modular wheels about 3 months ago and today was doing some brake maintenance. Front right wheel came off fine. Front left - couldn't get anything with a 2ft breaker. I fitted these and all torqued up the same. Is there anything that could cause the studs to swell of something? Any ideas welcome.

Nuts corroding onto the wheel? or onto the threads, could just be corrosion or galling.
