What Tire size should i get for 18 x 8.5 rims ?
Local tire shop said i should get 245/45 which would look like baloons ..His defense was that we have crappy roads and it would protect the rims. Whats the best size for bad street surfaces and bumpy roads .

8.5 inches is 225mm why in god's name would he tell you to get tires that would stick out (more)
Trust me, I have stock 18x8.5 rims, and I have stock 225-40-18 tires. They fit just perfect and they look good. No problems with rim damage.
