Is there any tire shop that swaps tires?
I just picked up a new set of wheels with a really agressive offset, and now I'm having rubbing issues on these brand new tires. The wheels are 18x8.5 RS6 Reps and I'm running on 235/40 Kumho ASX's with 4 miles on them. Would I be able to go to any shop in the area and swap for a set of 225's?
BTW my car is also slammed which is probably the main reason I'm rubbing, but I would much rather just get new tires than raise it only because I feel that raising the car wont completely solve my problem.

its a trade off with handling, MPH on the dash, etc.
Just swaping tire sizes is not always the best. You need to look at the overall diameter of your tire along with its footprint and the offset. Spacers may solve your problem.
