When I was a kid, i tried to put Jag S-type wheels on my tbird.

I bought the wheels for real cheap, the offset was way off.

I put a set of pep boys spacers on it.

When I had the tires rotated at a shop, they overtorqued the shit out of the lug nuts.

I was driving over the grand island bridge, the rear wheel started vibrating real bad, then fell off. The spacer had cracked.

Lucky for me I got the car pulled over and didn’t die.

Yeah spacers suck.
