Welcome 
If you are going to purchase wheels......you might consider larger ones so you can run the "big meats". 17x9.5x56 w/285 tire front and 17x11x50 w/315 for rear :yesnod:
If you stick with 8.5 on all four you will need to run 275"s on all four.....
Right now you have 8.5 front and 9.5 rear, so you would end up with smaller tires in the rear and larger in the front if you went to four 8.5"s.
The cheapest way would be to buy (2) 9.5"s put them on the front, and run 285"s all around.
