What is the smallest(narrow) tire I can put on an 18x9, 18x9.5, 18x8.5, 18x8 wheel?



Also, one of my wheels is bent and do yall know a good cheap online shop that repairs wheels? I don't know anyone local. Or if anyone has an 18" Mille Miglia Evo5

I have 19's. My rear is 19x9.5 and I run a 245/35-19. It has the stretched look which I like a lot. My front is 19x8.5 with a 235/35-19. I am changing to 225/35-19 so it looks more uniform with my rear tire. My front tire actually looks bigger although my rear tire is a 1/4" higher.

I use a shop in Maryland (Ye Old Wheel Shop). They are kinda halfass sometimes. I've been dealing with them for 13 yrs so I haven't tried anyone else yet. I was planning on using this company http://www.wheelcollision.com/. This place can rechrome and paint . So they are full service with a very quick turnaround. Hope this helps.

Hehe, I see that they nvr made a 18*X.5

So the sizes are 18x9 and 18x8.

You think I can make a 235 fit on the rear?

Looks like I might be getting a wheel that is a 45offset and mine are 40 offset.

I used Metro Wheels & Accessories in GA to repair my Volks. I paid around $120 and they shipped it back to me.
