Sidewall bubbles.
Happened to my vossen. 20x9 245\30\r20
tire is nitto invo used less that 5 month. bought them new.

chinewalk hit it right on the money. The threads inside your tire keeping it in place has broken. You have either hit a pothole, a harsh bump, or you let the tires run flat. It happens (in my case, the dealer let the tire run flat and rode on it, causing the same issue you claimed).
Extremely unsafe, so get it fixed asap.

definitely get its fixed. Happen to me and I didn't think much of it. One day as i was exiting to my house the tire popped out of no where. Likely i was only about a mile away from home and in the neighbor so i was able to drive very slow.

I've seen wheels completely destroyed, with no damage done to the tire.
I've seen tires with impact breaks and no damage to the wheel...
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a tire with a stronger sidewall, they are all susceptible to this.
