Hi. So about a year ago I did a spray painting job on my mates ve ss in which I took off all 4 wheels to spray them. Yesterday arvo he was pulling out of a driveway And 3 of his wheels came off, front left hand and 2 back ones. Now he hasn't had the car serviced, tyres changed or the wheels off since and the most likely explanation (which I feel really bad about if it's right) is that I didn't tighten the lug nuts properly and this put anyone driving the car in fairly serious danger. (Luckily the car and bloke are both ok). However I am in need of some serious advice as I have my doubts about the explanation. The reasons why I think it could have possibly been something else is the fact that he did roughly 25000 ks between the time that I put them on and the time that they came off. Which if they were loose would have surely given them plenty of chances to come off earlier. The other reason i find it odd that all 3 wheels managed to come off at the same time which makes me think it's possible that they could have been messed with? Idk it's an odd situation and I really want to get to the bottom of it as I consider myself fairly competent with changing wheels and have done so successfully many times. Thanks.
