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.

Thats why spacers are a bad idea....

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.

i understand completely, however the spacer's were either china junk (life threatening junk) or were not installed properly or both. and/or you exceeded the maximum threshold that these were designed for which is why I will not use 10 ply or low speed rating tires, spacers or any other garbage. I exceed 100mph on a daily basis usually multiple times a day, usually just beyond the onramp or just around 1/4 mile, easy to do for me.

Agreed. Although they are Rough Country 2"spacers from Action Car and Truck. Says made in the USA. Installed to correct torque and spec. I rarely get over 80mph/130km/h as im in Canada and the new "stunt driving" laws are insane. If you are caught going 40km/h over in an 80 you get a 30 day impound and license suspension on roadside. Now, that being said, I have been hard 0n them considering I have 33" RidgeGrapplers for tires and I can push hard off the line. Also, cornering I likely take to hard. I know how to drive but bad idea to install spacers. Buying an offset dished rim instead. Much safer. Edited because I guess saying hard 0n is bad...lol

Ya, I have seen how the mounties go about issuing tickets some of that wouldn't be allowed here, the over the limit rule is probably comparable, here in Cali basically anything over 99mph is "wreckless driving" and you could be subject to impound and extra fee's, etc in most cases you wouldn't loose your license unless you were doing something really stupid and got caught or tried to run and the whole scenario is usually up to the officers discretion, I have been caught doing 100+ and although they where "hot under the collar" about it initially I drove away with a ticket only

I've ran spacers like that before, but they were only 1" thick (35mm) and made from billit aluminum and had standard steel wheel studs/lugs pressed into them from the back to mount the wheel to.

Sounds like the aluminum they were made from couldn't stand up to the 2" thickness and the large tires.

They have just recently within the last month upped the fines and such here in Ontario. Minimal 30 day impound plus 7 day license suspension for what they call stunt driving which is really just going 40 or more over the limit. And they have been harsh about it. Ahh well. Speed limit or 10 over and cop deflector on (seat belt).

what's a cop deflector? new one to me

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

You know what i meant. Sorry "wheel".....The lugs were provided with spacers. Everyone knows mixing 2 metals is not a good idea...
