Car sitting on rims...HELP

So my car(infiniti M35x) is sitting sideways, drivers side, Front and Rear, tires completely deflated since 11pm last night. Thats about 33hours of the car resting on its driver side rims. Do you think it will be ok for it to sit like that till tomorrow morning? Do you think the damage is done and i could leave it until tomorrow or should i rush to change the rims/tires?


P.s. Its 18" rims and its AWD...Im not worried about the rims/tire being damaged because they will be replaced anyway.

It shouldn't damage the rims to sit on the ground like that, as long as you haven't tried to move the car anywhere.

I used to have a ton of problems with one of my Trans Am's wheels. It would constantly lose tire pressure because there was an issue with the beading surface on the rim.

Is the damage to the tires that great that you can't even fill them up with a little bit of air?

Rims will be fine. I've seen much worst things happen to wheels and they were ay OK.

Try to fill up the tires asap so they don't sit like that too long. Don't move it until tires are inflated...
