Lay off the drugs!

Of course it could be that you're hitting warp drive and you're stretching as you reach light speed like the Millennium Falcon

I think if someone came into my shop and said their car was stretching when they accelerated, I'd ask if they needed some pills or something.

What does that even mean?!!
I disagree,I would tell them u've had too many pills but don't worry I'm going to talk u down When u ride your bicycle,do the handle bars seem to turn to rubber?

They did not come with longer lug nuts!!!!! Wow, I got some 5mm for my civic and they came with longer lug nuts, we were thinking I would not need the longer lug nuts because it was just 5mm. Once I got them on there was no way I could use 5mm with the stock lugs. You need 4 complete turns MINIMUM before I would ever drive with it.

I always try to help people but if u had done even a little home work u would have known that this was unsafe.And your discription of your car "stretching" Dude When u asked for a diagnosis u didn't bother to mention the reckless way in which u chose to mount your rear wheels.Glad no one was killed.Time to stop being offended,own up to your actions and be a man.

It sounds like you didn't tighten your lug nuts and need extended studs. It's not the spacers' fault.
