Default My Hamann Wheels...problem...

I have the HM2.. heres my question... Im runing 225/40 on my wheels right now... which are supposedly 18x8.5 yet the tires dont dit there short... so the polished lip shows... i want to get new tires either 235,or 245 can anyone recomend a good tires? the reason my 225's dont fit on my 8.5 wheel is cause ther not 8.5 there actaully 9 i measured them myself... its stamped 18x8.5 on hte inside of the wheel.. how could they screw it up?


thanks all who reply...<p>$

Default 235's are a CLOSE fit... i don't think 245's will fit though

Default How are you measuring width? (more)...

<center><img src="http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/images/tech/offset.gif"></center><p>If you're measuring 9" to the outside of the rim, they are probably 8.5". Width is measured where the tire bead seats. HTH.<p><a href="http://www.users.uswest.net/~craiger/a4main.htm">

Default Wow...I'd get my money back, if they sold them to you as 8.5".
