So to make a long story short, I went off roading in my GST and it just my luck, a manhole setup is sticking out 8 inches in this grass median. I have a light pole to my left, and a tree to the right :/ I was doing about 20 when I entered the grass, turning wasn't much of an option, so I aimed strait and nailed it, to bad this manhole setup just so happened to catch my passenger side rims.
Back rim was lightly dented and popped the brand new tire at the side wall. Took a few minutes for it to go flat. The front passenger took the biggest hit. Dented the rim on both side rendering it unusable.
SOoo 1400$ later, new rims, and nice tires I realized my passenger front is rubbing on my side skirt when test turning the wheel fit.
I was about 1 minute away from home, so I drove it home, felt ok at first, then I got to 15-20 and it felt grinding, possibly wheel bearing? When I turned left or right the noise and feeling went away.
Drivers side seems fine, passenger's side front as you can tell is pretty bad. Rear passenger has no immediate damage visible, alignment will tell for sure.
So now I would love to pick everyone's brain!
