They were not torqued to the correct OEM ft/lbs when installed. It is also possible the wrong type lug nuts were installed. You must match the lug nut with the wheel as there are many different types. Just because it fits the bolt does not mean it is the correct nut. Same are flat, some are conical, and others are a combination. Also if the lug nit was cross threaded it will not stay tight.

Wheel comes off car while driving?
The lug nuts on the wheel that hold the tire on must have been loose. Even if you properly torque down all of your wheels, if you don't use a star pattern to tighten the lug nuts down, than the wheel may not be flush with the wheel hub. If this is the case, than the lug nuts can loosen, and the wheel can come off. Also, if your vehicle has loose traction arms, or tie rods (all parts of the suspension and wheel assembly), than the wheel can not only come loose, but it can fall under the car, causing a very dangerous situation. I would suggest watching a video on how to properly change a tire, before you remove or replace one yourself.
