Israel had 2" Spacers on the wheels of his JK. Not fun when 4/5 lug nut studs rip off...

Looks like there is a gap. You probably dont removed the clip retainers before putting the spacers
-
That's because you didn't use hubcentric spacers! obviously the load is supposed to be on the hub not the studs!!
-
Depen what did you do??
-
non hubcentric and thats what you get
-
moron is my only word

Instead of "Why You Shouldn't Use Wheel Spacers," why isn't it "why you should never off-road with spacers?"
-
Wrong nuts to hold the spacer on. Either too loose or too tight and sheared the studs off. If you do things properly then they don't fail. I've had spacers for years and years and never any problems.
-
the wrong nuts were used. check out what he takes out of the spacer. you are not supposed to use the vehicle's lug nuts in the spacer. the nuts that come with it go inside and the vehicle lug nuts go with the wheel.

He was obviously doing something hardcore with his jeep that made that happen. Did u friken jump that thing? I jump my truck all the time, but it broke my window so I don't off-road no more
-
Next time, save yourself the trouble of replacing wheel studs and buy an anti-freeze/lock product and put it on the threads and don't over torque.

stay low my friends
-
county music+lifted jeep(well anything lifted)+spacers= always a disaster
-
Thas a lugcentric spacer thats his fault
-
idiots!!!!
-
too much off roading?
-
Must have been a gm product lol
-
That's why you don't use a spacer that isn't hub centric
-
smh.....and this is why all the forum newbies come in with all of the dumb questions. this isn't a spacer problem. It is because it's a crappy lug centric spacer instead of hub centric. I would also be willing to bet that he put those on with the same tools he took them off with. This kind of falls into the same category as people telling everyone a certain tire is junk when they never rotated them nor properly inflated them.
