you still running stock wheels?
aftermarket wheels with deep-dish type offsets puts lots more stress on bearings. just throwing that out.

I broke a Nissan front wheel bearing basically in half, it came out with hand/finger power and I have 17 / 7.5 inch rims. Maybe it is the rims.

Ive replaced the right wheel bearing and hub twice and the left once and the right is going out again. I was running 15s but went back to stock and still having this problem.

My car had bad wheel bearings when I got it due to the previous owner's wheel locks being the wrong thread pitch and only being threaded on a turn or so on each wheel, so basically only 3 lugs on the wheel for who knows how long. Also one of my new wheel bearings went bad because I had forgotten to tighten and axle nut.

3+ years, 25+ track weekends, uncountable autocross runs. I've had zero wheel bearing failures. Got to be something you're doing.
