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.

Broke a spacer off? lost the lug nuts?

Right. We need more context!

Looks like sheered stock wheel studs with the spacer still attached to that wheel.
Steel on aluminium plus friction. So this spacer uses the stock studs to mount. Then in turn has its own studs that you mount tire and original lugs to. So the stock studs basically ate the aluminium in the spacer and the lugs obviously got loose and walked themseleves out. Stock studs were still on truck and not damaged as with the studs on the spacer. Aluminum and steel dont play nice together under load.
No the steel studs ate the aluminium around them. There was melted aluminium in the stock stud threads
Steel studs ate the aluminium around the mounting holes
Stock studs remain. Steel studs ate the aluminium inside the mounting holes and the spacer lugs walked off
sounds like the wrong lug nuts were used, aluminum wheels are placed on steel hubs and or spacers all the time and this doesn't normally happen. You may want to take that up with whoever you purchased the spacers and wheels from. And tires mount to wheels.....you cant mount a tire to a lug
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.
