tire strreeeeeeetch question

225/50 & 245/45/18 (tire brand unknown) on 9 & 10.5" wheels
pending on tire mfg. -1.0"section & -2.0"tread mounted (-0.5"sec. -1.0"tread per side)
for front.
rear's are -2.0"section & -2.5"tread mounted (-1.0"sec. -1.25"tread per side)
Rim lips will stick out further than tire sidewall.
better fit (still a tad stretched/but better) 245/45 Front & 275/40 rear......*remember* the overall wheel lip is 1" wider than the bead (or advertised wheel width)
9=10" & 10.5=11.5",,,,this is very close on all wheels.

"Better," of course. The OP is interested in that non-functional "stanced" look with tires stretched beyond usefulness and probably ridiculous camber that gives a 2" contact patch per tire.
