18x9 or 18x9.5?

is the extra .5 width worth going with 18x9.5 wheels? im want to purchase a set of volk le28n and cannot decide which ones to try to get, the 18x9 are available in the style i want but the 18x9.5 would be tough to get so im trying to see if its even worth it to wait.

my car is a daily driver and roads are not the best around where i live, so as much as i would like to go with 255/35/18, i think it would be better to go with 245/40/18. the reason i am considering staying away from the 255/35 is because i have 19 inch wheels with 35 series tires on my 98 m3 and i already bent one set of wheels 2 years after i purchased them.

With a 245 i would not go with more than a 8.5" wheel. I have 255's om a 9.5" rim and I should have went with a 9" wheel insted.
