I just got 17x9s and got a 275/40/17 tire...no bulge (actually the stock set-up as well). If it were me I'd go a bit wider on each. the 9" you could put a 275 and the 10" you could probably go with a 295. There are some pictures of several different set ups on here, just might take some digging though.

EDIT-I put 315s on my 17x10.5s for the rear. Love it, so glad I did. Also it depends on the tire, some tires run wider (GS-D3) and some narrower (Nitto) so you might want to look into that as well.
