Ok quick question, maybe kind of ignorant aswell, but i thought id get others to throw in there knowledge on the subject.

Assumming that the tire brand/model stay the same, will a tire that is a 215/45/16 on a 16x7.5 rim look the same as a 215/45/17 tire on a 17x7.5 in rim.....other than the obvious rim difference?

To me it makes since that they would since the rim width are the same on both rims and the width and the sidewall height are the same on the tires, maybe im just overthinking it a bit, but just wanting to make sure that with the rim size difference....will it make the tire look different?

the 16" wheel tire combo is 23.6" diameter

the 17" wheel tire combo is 24.6" diameter

the 17 will fill more of the wheel well, but will raise you truck up 1/2" higher than the 16
