215/35 front
215/40 rear.
dont make the mistake I did and go 205/40 front. I rubbed like crazy and had to raise my front quite a bit so it would work. Granted, you are using x9 front so 205 is out of the question. I'd still recommend a 35 series tire for the front.
215/40 stretch on a 9.5 looks like this:

Re: new wheels.. (snow blind)

i should be fine with stretch plus i think im going with some nitto neogens they have a tougher sidewall so its safer to run a stretch on this particular tire as opposed to stretching just any tire so that ^ will def not be an issue

you won't have any problems with your stretch... though im not a huge fan of nitto, but that's a personal pref. G'luck man, i'm sure they'll look good!
