I just heard from somebody that. Sometimes they are 17 inch wheels for a reason and aren't able to get 16 because they might not fit.

If it's the same bolt pattern, then no problem.

16s is the smallest you can go because of brake clearance issues. I believe dodges half tons are worse and 2002 and up has to have at least 17s

True, brakes won't clear a 16" on those Dodges. Some newer Tundras have the same issue.
