So as many of you know (or dont) i had bent my last set of rims & it was leaking air. 1 of the rims were bent & 2 of them had curb rash... the rash wasnt nothing too crazii just many scrapes... but the rims were not drivable for a while now...

Took the rims to a shop on friday & got them back the same day

When i first saw them at the shop my eyes lit up!!! :iconeek didnt imagine that they would look brand new again considering he fixed 2 rims for $120 TOTAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :woot: :woot: :woot:

Now the bigger questions spring up... Keep Or Sell?? lol honestly i feel like im definitely keeping

the real question is tho what does every1 have on their back rims for tires??? the rims are 19"

right now i have the g35 18" rims & i rub like crazii when ppl sit in my bak seat or when the cars bounces too much... tires are 245/45/18

18" G35 rims are +30mm offset which is causing problems along with the tire width. Maybe try 235-40's.

+40 offset is much different than a +30 offset. 245's may work fine in that configuration. How much of the tire is rubbing and is it rubbing the outside or inside?

I had similar issues with my 2k2 Maxima running the 18" infiniti wheels and 245-40's (Eibach suspension). The main issue is the offset of the rims at +30mm and having tires that are wider. With the Maxima I only scrubbed on the passenger side (even after I bent the lip) and 235-width tires would have probably resolved it. On your Altima that does not look to be the case. 19" rims with +40mm should be fine as long as you use the correct tire to keep the car calibrated.
