damn man that sucks. good luck with repairs

 

that is your problem

You did not have enough thread for your nuts.

if you will be fixing the car change the studs ASAP or other wheels will do the same.
Your nuts have nothing to do with it.

Wow, that is ugly.

 

maybe someone loosened your lugs or something?

 

Yep they came off because you didn't run longer studs...d'oh

 

I have the Ray Eng Extended lugs. I would be pissed if my Alumi lugs did this.

 

^read the thread

Nuts have nothing to do with it.

 

Joker what brand of spacers are you running?

 

ewwww.

all that damage just for a 5mm spacer


just noticed you made a thred about your new wheels, last week. ouch

 

Nice





oops wrong thread.
hope you get this fixed

 

h&r 30mm

 

How you doing there Maxzero?

did you get any estimates yet?
Did you talk to the insurance, will they be covering the damage?

 

Serious Ouch!!! thats just upseting to look at.

I doubt Insurance will cover something like that. its not like someone hit him.. its user error basically.

Let us know what the $ damage come to

Good luck with it man

 

just came across this, sad to see this happen, but let that be a lesson to you and anyone else. non-hubcentric spacers and oem length wheel studs will get you in trouble. Best bet is to upgrade to 10mm bolt-on style hubcentric spacers because they come pre-studed and do not require you to replace your OEM studs. Like Joker keeps saying, lug nuts should not have anything to do with it other than they were not able to properly engage the correct amount threads on the studs, which is a problem cause by the spacers.

If the lugs were in bad shape upon install you "friend" should have not put them on and you should have waited until everything was done correctly.

Good luck with the fix.
