Am getting some new wheels soon, and was trying to find the tire size I need to buy,the rim sizes are 8.5 front and 9.5 rear, what tire size do I need to get to have the tire wall flush with the rims and not get that stretch look.

cool i can get a set of 245, for $479 will a 245 be to big for a 8.5" rim.

thats a pair or a set?

if its a set thats not bad, depends on the tire

for a square look id say 235 / 255, or maybe 235 / 245 or 245 / 255

hard to find 265 anywhere, which is a good match for the 9.5

you could also run the 245 all around if you wanted to get those, theyll just be square in front and stretch in rear

what tires you planning on?
