There are many ways to go about it but first, what kind of topics are discussed on your forum? Who is your target audience?

For forums, quality of content/posts and word of mouth advertising works best in my experience. Initially you may try to advertise your forums on adwords etc.. Also you can go for some offline advertising... like.. create some teasers and have them displayed at local car dealers/repair shops..or where you feel your target audience could be...
