Wheel sizing 8.5 width to 9.5

Im undecided on what to do I have 18” wheels with 8.5 width and thinking on buying 9.5 and keeping the 18” size but not sure if my tires will fit or will I have to replace all of them. Also if I can how much stretch will I have?

I'm currently running 18x9.5 wheels, with 245 tires. It's a slight stretch but nothing dangerous. 235 would be the smallest section width I'd go IMO.

Here’s how stretched my tires are. Like I said, super mild.

Nothing beats contact patch for grip. With proper offset, you can run 275mm tires.
