oh crap.

 

2 weeks ago i just saw a wrx that was installed with nuts that were way smaller than specification.

 

at a very popular tyre shop. shop owner insisted that it was okay.

 

hope the wrx owner doesn't do any stunts.

no.. the nuts that holds the wheels. they were smaller. the car owner ordered couple of sizes bigger but the tyre shop guy indented the wrong size.

Unlikely all 4 wheels fly off at the same time, I highly suspect spacer was used and too few turns / threads used to tightened the wheels onto the car. Either that the the installer forgot to torque all the wheels
