Tires: 1666 gmc, rim width, acceptable change

Question
 Hi I emailed you last night about tires and rims  and I can't get your answer by clicking on web address  or by typing it one character at a time. I was hoping my answer would have been posted so I could read it.   Thanks!

Answer
Paul,

Here's what I answered - hope you can read it.

As far as load capacity and rim width goes (your truck has 7" rims), this is an acceptable change.  But I don't about how much room there is under the fenderwell (probably plenty), so I suggest you find a web site devoted to your vehicle and ask there, Someone has probably already done this.

As far as 17" goes - be sure you get enough load capacity and that means an "LT" tire, not a "P".

I'm not sure the rims from your 2001 will fit - rims are really outside my area of expertise.
