Question Need some wheel size advice !

I`m looking to get some 37" tires for my truck , (my lift is on order) and the tires I`m looking at are 37-13.50r17 or 37-12.50r17 and fit a wheel width of 8.5"- 11". I know that a 17"x10" would be best , but I can only find a few wheels in that size , most are 17" x9". Will the 1" make that big of a difference? I`m trying to keep the tire from buldging to much and wearing the centers out to fast. Thanks for any input!

17x9 will work.

I've seen a good amount of 17x10s.

You'll just want to keep the backspacing around 4.5".
