I did search and review some threads on this, still have questions. I am wanting to order a new set of wheels for my black 11' Altima Sedan 2.5s. I have found a set of wheels I want, but I was concerned with the back spacing from what I have read on some threads on the forum. The wheels are 19'' Black Drag DR-37 Wheels Rims 5x114.3, they are 19x8 +40mm off set. I do not want to rub when turning. I dont want anything sticking past fender wells, will these look close to stock width on the vehicle? Also trying to find the right tire size, I don't want to thin of a wall (this is my work vehicle w/ lots of driving), and I hate the look of a tire that looks like its about to blow a bead (tire not wide enough for wheel). Any help would be great.

Well I did some digging around on some tire and wheel package web sites to see what they sell for a Altima Sedan 2.5S, the wheel off set is the same on the ones Im want and the same for the width. They where recommending a 245/35/19 tires, I think I will go with the 245/45/19 for a little taller side wall and also a little cheaper tire price. Still open to any suggestions.

The wheel is fine, the tires you pick may make it rub though, id get as close to oem specs as possible using a tire calc and the oem tires

You think I may rub due to width of tire while turning or due to height when going over bumps?

I"d go with 245/40/19. 245/45/19 are too tall. If you want a hair more sidewall than 245/40 you can always go with 225/45, but I wouldn't go any taller than that.
