I just put a set of 20" wheels on my 06' Maxima SL and they rub when hitting bumps in the road. Any idea what's going on and how to fix it?

What size tires are you running on them?What's the width and offset of the wheels?

You may be stuck with the rubbing depending on the wheels' offset. If you're close to clearing, you can run a slightly narrower tire and see if that helps. Or you can roll the fenders. Or any combination of the above.

Yup what he said, the ideal size is 245/35/20 with a 38mm-40mmm offset. Mine tuck in the back and never rub!
