Cool Will it fit? (thats what she said)

hey everyone, ive got an opportunity to get some rims for dirt cheap (less than $90 each) but ive never bought rims before. my questions are A- will they fit on my 2008 nissan altima 2.5s and B- since they are a 20" rim that needs low profile tires will there be any draw backs becouse this is my every day driver. thanks in advance for all your help

lol good observation lol. maybe they should rename the whole "American" part. but yeah rubbing inside the wheel well is what im worried about. i would honestly prefer an 18'. the reason i can get these so cheap is becouse my buddy took them in on trade and they wont fit on his mustang so he said i could grab them for cheap. i personaly think the wheels look sick but i dont know how the 20' will look on the car, i dont want it to look rediculous

they will fit if you dont lower your car, you might be able to lower a little bit
i have 19s and lowered my car about 2.5in and i have no issue with rubbing

you will need low profile tires which will make the ride a little less smooth if you are not lowering i would try to fit bigger tires but not sure what to tell you with size
also got to be careful, less tire means you can more easily damage your rims hitting potholes. been to Jersey alot and the roads suck monkey balls

Nice rims i recommend rolling your fenders
My buddy has a 09 with 22" rims and they dont rub one bit
my 03 on 20's rub more so i would think you wouldnt have any problems with rubbing
