The story is....well I went to a secluded area. Off in the cut. Pitch black dark. And I decided to do something stupid...like some AWD attempt at donuts. Long story short...lugs stripped off and bam! I also blame the spacers I had as well. It's a depressing situation. And I don't know whether to sell the car after repairs or keep it.

So far my list is
Rotors
calipers
Pads
Wheel bearings
Lower control arm
Fender
Rim and or rims.

I feel stupid and humiliated. Lesson learned.

Wow sorry to hear about that. Moral of the story here aside from the donuts nonsense is to be careful torquing lug nuts and especially careful with bolt on spacers.

Get her fixed up and either get rims that fit better or get some extended studs and use slip on spacers instead.

Did the popo give you a ticket?

The spacers were needed because the spoke rubbed on my calipers. That's how I bought it. I figured it was fine. But nope!!

And no ticket. I told them I was taking pictures of the stars. And I really was.

Lesson learned. Don't be stupid!!
