Wheel spacer fatigued and cracked allowing my lug nuts to loosen (I could only find half the spacer at the scene)... Lost the Right rear wheel going around a corner, and as it came off it took out most of the lower rear quarter, damaging the area where the spare tire fits. I will get more pics soon, but does anyone have an idea what it might take to fix this? Here is a pic after the car was towed from the scene. I replaced the studs, and she is on 4 wheels again now... luckily there was almost no damage to the rear end and suspension (just my exhaust tips are crushed) as it happened as I took the corner at 5mph THANK GOD.

Can't see much from pic.

 

If it's just the wheel tub use a BFH...

 

that sucks, probably caused by loose nuts on the spacer, not fatigue IMHO, since thats where they always fail.

from the pics the quarter looks fine, but sheetmetal behind the tire that the GFS is supposed to be mounted to seems to be missing or bent in, but its hard to see form that pic.
