I def gonna take to dealer but when I do go should I take these rims off? And pu back my stocks? Thanks In advance my car is only 2 years old I hate this

How much clearance do you have between the wheels and the fender liners in the wheel well? The noise you are hearing is probably rubbing. The reason you didn't hear it yesterday is because you had the car up in the air for a while and the suspension decompressed a bit. It takes the springs a little time to compress again after being put back down.. so you may have been close to rubbing before, but now that everything settled back down, you are rubbing on something.
I'm sure you don't need to pay a dealer to figure this out. Just give it a good visual inspection. With the car parked, turn the wheel to the point that you would normally hear the rubbing and run your hand along the top and back of the tire to see what kind of room you have.

If it's not rubbing in any way, then put the old wheels back on and see if the noise is there.

are you lowered? if your car is at stock height or only on springs you should have no issue with rubbing.

ok so this is the deal.. i have enough room to put 22's on lol.no but serious i def clear from my tires rubbing. yes everything is stock height didnt lower my car what so ever, so i came home and put back on my stupid hub caps lol and the noise is gone!i dont hear it anymore i am thinking maybe the wheels are lighter then the g37 wheels? so what is the noise i hear? can it be that i have the nissan lug nuts on and not the g37 ones? i am still going to the dealer tomorrow moring to see what the issue is, there probably gonna say there is nothing wrong but maybe you guys may have and idea. once again there g37 19inch wheels the tire size are 225/40/19 in the front and the back is 245/40/19 once again thanks for the help guys

no the lugs should be fine, they're all 1.25 thread for nissan/infiniti.

Does the noise only appear when you turn the wheel a certain way - maybe only left or only right? Does it show up above certain speeds? Is it accompanied by a vibration in your steering wheel, gas/brake pedals, shifter (either CVT or stick)?

Might be a bad wheel bearing. Take it to a shop if you're not confident in the diagnosis, and have them find it. Warning though: they might tell you that it's nothing at first, because you're more attuned to the noises in your car.

I've gone through two of those. One at about 36k (front driver), and another at 78k (passenger). If you're not going to do it yourself, it's going to cost you probably between $300-500, depending on where you go. If you do it yourself, you'll need a wheel puller, and you'll need a new wheel hub assembly - about $125. Be careful to buy the correct part.

king- I hope you put on the correct G37 wheel nuts, these G37 rims need a flat faced nut with a washer, the regular acorn taper nuts that came with the Altimas are DANGEROUS to use!! they only hold a small amount of the wheel on at the bottom of the taper and can break off.

[tt85_GM]

That is what you should have on.

Hey what's up guys!!! Once again thank you for taking the time and giving me you input. So basically the problem was the wheel bearing and thanks to my warranty I did nt have to shed out any cash! So problem is solved. Now about these lug nuts where could I find them for a good price beside the dealer? There like 12 bucks a nut(ouch). Yes I def won't use the stock altima ones. And also I am gonna need Nissan caps any ideas?

I got the lug nuts from NAPA...part # 641-4308 and they were around $7 each(canadian $). For the center caps Im going to use my stock center caps from my 16" altima rims, I already tried them and they fit perfect.
