then use 175/45/15 for front 185/45/15 rear ? would that give the right stretch look ?

if your going to run 8.5's on the back, id personaly say 175/50 as thats what ive got on my 8.5's and the stretch looks spot on, and fits perfectly under the arches. As for front u could stil run 175's but depends how much stretch you want etc, but u may be able to get a 165 on there, take a look at this it may help you to get the look you want as to regards of stretch.
