Torque, meaty rubbers and pavement plus jumping off the line and hard cornering equals rogue tires. No injuries. Felt it coming and was pulling over.

What year truck were these installed on?

Not sure it exists…

Aha! That’s what I thought, you didn’t have studs OR lugs. No wonder your wheels are falling off. Turn in your manhood membership, you’re not allowed to work on or drive trucks anymore.

Hahahhaa sure pal.

Those are the same pics you posted originally. C’mon man! Post the photos of the hub on the truck and of the actual broken bits. Other wise change your title to “Incorrectly installed spacers is a safety hazard” and hand in your tools and your camera. LOL!

Wheel is back on truck. Da **** you want? Wanna see the ******* paper weight

Just wanted to see and understand the failure. Your thread lacked the required information and left us with a little guessing game that got old. Some of us were interested to understand but underwhelmed by the content.

So in the pics you posted, the spacer is still attached to the wheel?

And you're saying the studs and lugs that attached the spacer to the axle hub are aluminum, or just the lugs, because the studs should be the factory steel ones?

Sorry the "wheel" is mounted using ALUMINUM studs from the spacer with the existing steel lugs.The spacers come with their own lugs which are also aluminum. Using the stock steel studs to mount the spacer with its aluminum lugs and in turn aluminum studs with existing steel lugs to mount "wheel". The failure occurred at the spacer where the steel studs are mounting the spacer. The steel studs chewed the aluminum allowing the aluminum lugs to walk. And the wheel goes for a tour. If that clarifies for you.

He’s saying he used the provided supposedly aluminum lugs to mount the spacer to the truck on the factory steel studs and the spacer had aluminum studs which he used with the factory steel lugs which is supposedly according to the directions. Which means he mixed the metals both times if that’s what he did. Which I say is an incorrect way to do it even if there are aluminum studs and lugs involved. Which I doubt and is why I wanted to see pics of them.

It must be a 2021 model since that's where it's posted.

I recommend oil-based paint to watch -- it will take longer.
