Default What size tires....

I have 8.5 front and 9.5 rear rims. What size tires do you recommend. I do not want them streched. They look retarded. Thanks for the info.

I think we are missing a number. A very important number.

I would go 245 and 275 if you don't want any stretch. Aspect ratio will depend on rim diameter which we are missing as eluded to above...

Need wheel widths and offsets to make an accurate suggestion. 245/375 is the "standard" for 8.5"/9.5" wheels.

245/40 front with 275/40 rear. If you can get 255/40 in the brand tires you decide on , go with them up front.

If there was a 375-sized tire, I would so buy it and put it across the entire back of my car Flintstone's style.

What size Nitto tires did you order?

Notice that everyone mentions 245 and 275 width, but the glaring omission is the aspect ratio. terrasmak is the only poster on your thread mentioning the aspect ratio (and he provides the entire size specification for the most commonly used solution mounted on your wheels).
