Expert Reply:
The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4105 that you referenced will give you additional support for the rear suspension of your 2010 Nissan Altima. If you inflated them enough it would prevent the suspension from traveling as far as normal over bumps which would stop the rubbing you are experiencing.
Too much air pressure will cause the ride quality to be harsh, so your best option would be to experiment with different air pressures till you find one that will prevent the rubbing but won't make the ride quality too rough.
When I put wider wheels and tires on my car I had to "massage" the inner fender wells so that they wouldn't rub when I hit bumps. Using a board and a hammer should do the trick depending on where the tires are rubbing.
