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.

Ok, I'm back to, "makes sense to me"  lol

Yeah, you made me scared of spacers. I have them & have always said to my self "Well, Ben wheels his Jeep a lot harder than me & he's never had an issue"...Then you posted those pictures. You're lucky dude, it could have been a lot worse! Anyway, good luck with the sale.

Yup. Could have easily died. Still amazed at how stable it was on 3 wheels at 65.
