This will give me enough tire, and since these rims are forged, should not have to worry as much about denting a rim
Short and sweet think 19's are the way to go

This is the same exact thing I was thinking. For a car as big, bulky, and husky as the Altima you need wheels that match the body design and if you get rims that are 18 not only do you not fill the wheel well space but you'll have to get fat tires and still be left with wheel gap.
It's a compromise really. Currently my cousin wants to go 18 on his 08 but I'm trying to convince him otherwise. I'd prefer he go's 20 but he'd be too worried about potholes and such when really he shouldn't when I'm running on 35 series tires and my frame is 3in. off the floor.
So the middle ground would have to be 19 I'd say. Fill more space all around and you get to the peace of mind with a thicker sidewall but nothing huge.
