Thanks guys
The collision place is looking at it and I will have an estimate by tomorrow, all I'll have to do is pay the insurance deductable.
The only damage appears to be the studs, controll arm, the exhaust pipe and the wheel of course. It could have been much worse.
On a lighter note, it was funny in a way to see your wheel role past, kind of like in a movie...

The wheel came off b/c of the studs snapping. What caused them to break is the question. It may have been the spacers fault but IDK. My guess is that over time the spacer may have loosened slightly, causing the vibration and noise I heard. One stud failed and all the rest followed... I guess it's my bust for not checking the spacers on a regular basis.
Sooo...
On my way home, going through Morgan City, the car starts making some strange *** noise. It sounded like the rear end was about to explode....
Long story short, my right wheel and rear tire come off and roll past me when I get off of the highway and hit an oncoming car. Wheel splits in 2
4 studs on my passenger rear tire were sheared off, one looked like it just was pulled out.
Not sure what caused it, I had spacers which were in tight, wheel was on tight...
Drug the camber arm and exhaust, no visible body or frame damage...
Insurance tomorrow!!!
The big thing is that I now only have 3 wheels
Oh well, I'll post pics when I get back to BR in a few days, I'm going to bed...

and to think we were talking about that wheel at my house when you left, very strange.
How the hell could that wheel just come off like that?

did you retighten the spacer after rolling on it a little? tire shops usually recommend it.

if so, did you have the wheel rings that take up the gap between the wheel hub and brake hat?
example:
wheels are suppose to rest on the brake hat, not the tightening of the lugs...
even tho mine are... :-/
