That makes sense, to me. A good lesson that everyone could learn from.
Krawler00:
Well, I still have the old spacer from "the incident" and it does not have a lip. Could that have really caused the wheel to come off? If so, I was sold the wrong spacers. Need to dig a little on this as I still wonder what the hell happened that day. //popcorn//

What I read was that the lip of a hub centric design is what supports the up and down motion of the wheel (well, the weight is rested on that lip) whereas the lugs are what provide the lateral motion support. What surprises me about your situation, is the lugs coming away from the hub, not the spacer. If the lugs between the spacer and the wheel separated, then I could understand since the wheel would have no lip to support the forces, but since the vehicle's hubs were 'hub centric', the spacer should have been fully supported by the hub's centric part, thus that shouldn't have broken away at that point.
I take back my "makes sense to me" comment...it does not make sense, if the failure was at the lugs between the vehicle hub and the spacer.

Clark... back up to the "makes sense to me" part... if he was using a non HC spacer the center hole is larger then a HC hole so thus, the vehicle weight was NOT resting on the center hole of the non HC spacer just as the tire was not resting any weight on the non HC spacer except through the lugs.
A non HC spacer does not have a shoulder on either side and the center bore is much larger then the hub on the vehicle.
