16's will still have more tire choices and cheaper than 17's. Unless you want the looks of 17's, I would stay with 16's.

In my searches for "E" rated tires for my stock 17" rims.. there aren't many if you decide to drift away from the stock 265's! But I have seen many "E" Rated options in the 18" and 20" rim sizes... Can't comment on 16" as I can't run that on my truck.

I have some Eagle Alloy's 8+" , the stock tire , 235 , would be almost even with the tire , I worry about bumping the rims on curbs with out a little wider tire than the rim .
Thanks for the replies .
