scary accident with tires

[patty]

Just alittle tit bit Id like to share with every one,NEVER BUY DISK BREAK SPACERS!Its a small piece of metal that you put between your hub and disk break to push your wheel further out.When I bought them I was skepticle because you dont have much room for nut to screw onto the pin,but I asked the lordco guys about this and they said it would be fine.Being a nieve guy who doesnt know all that much about stuff I believed them.
So yesterday on my way home from work I felt a small vibration in my turns,thought to myself well that must just be the mud flap folded up in the tire(because my mud flap is all ripped up from previouse tires mishaps).So when I got home I breifly mentioned it to my dad and he figured the same thing I had with the mud flaps and all.then this morning while I was eating breakfast my dad said well I might as well drive her around and see what your talking about.Ten min later he comes back and said my wheel had fallen completly off.He had driven up the street and back and as he drove a nut would fall off every so feet untill CRASH! He was side ways watching the front drivers side tire roll down the street infront of him.
All we can figure is that the spacers pushed it out way to far and the nuts couldnt hold.It suck alot cause all the pins and nuts are completly striped and now the deli is just sitting in the middle of the street in blacktusk.
Its a damn good thing my dad took it for a test drive,cause most likley I would have took the the turn out of blacktusk way to fast and the wheel would have come right off and i would be across the highway in shock waiting for a big truck to nail me.

Dang! that really bites...

What was the reason you used those things in the first place?

Well I had this rad idea of a deli with its wheels set far out (for cheep) I think it looks super bad ass and would probably make for more aggressive turns.
I have now just become a BCAA card owner because of this! 5 more some what free tows!
