Rim size Question recently bought an 04 GTO A4 Yellow Jacket and one of the rims is slightly bent. the past 2 weeks ive managed to get a flat or blowout on the same side/rim... heres the question...
so im rolling with some ADR's (dont know the model) size is 18x9 with 255/35's .. tires have less than 100 miles on them. so maybe you can help me out. how wide can i go with the tires and what matches up to my bolt pattern (5x120) its turning into a headache cause they are 18x9's all around. heres a photo so maybe if you know the ADR model that could help too lol
Thanks in advance

I'm not sure what they question is. Are you wanting to buy new wheels and keep the tires you have so you need to know how wide of a wheel you can get with 255 tires?
If so, I wouldn't go wider than 9. Hell, they sidewalls are probably pretty flush at that, I would prefer 255 on an 8.5 inch wide wheel or jump up to a 275 tires (though I know GTOs are space limited for wide tires)
I would just have the wheel repaired or buy a new one. They actually look pretty good and would look great painted black.
