so the tires are rubbing with people in the back even without a drop?it could be the fenders, or the offsets are off.

do you know where the rubbing is happening? inside or outside tires.

Id fix the rubbing problem b 4 considering a drop.

It could be a few things...your offset is incorrect, your tires aren't sized correct and/or your wheels are to wide. My guess is it's and offset and/or wheel width issue. You should've have to roll your fenders to fit 19" wheels on and '09 Altima.

One (or more) of your tires may be out of balance.

depends where you're rubbing. most likely your offset is too low based on your profile pic, looks like your wheels are sticking out too much so you would need a higher offset. if you look at your fender and the rubbin is coming from the outside of the tire, then you need higher offset. if the rubbing is on the inside, then you need lower which means you can just get spacers.

and your steering wheel is probably shaking cause either your wheel(s) are off balance or you may need an alignment

i just had 20s put on not to long ago and any 1 more person than myself would cause my tires to rub they are 8.5s and ever since i got my fenders rolled no more problems no matter how many people were in the car . Rolling the fenders probly your best bet if you like your rims ad its pretty inexpensive too i think i paid round 150.

yo OP you sent me a PM about my 20s. I cannot reply due to your settings disabling PM's from others.Judging by the looks of it though, a trade is highly unlikely. My rims are on 245/35ZR/20 with a 38mm offset, they are 8.5 as well. Rub lightly but only under load and on hard curves.Disable PM issue with your Profile if you want to continue with the Wheels Stuff.

I think you are tires are out of balance or incorrect size. Once check and fit the perfect one.

what size tires do you have, i just picked up rims same size and same offset. i eventually plan to lower.
