    I want 16's but the wheel I really want is made no smaller than 17" so I decided I'll go with that and a 33" tire. Especially because I want to do off roading.

    With metric tires the tire size DOES change with rim size. With standard inch measurements it does not as you stated.

    I know it's been said but I would go with 16's just becasue it's less wheel to get scuffed out on the trails - however if you don't plan to taking that kind of risk 17's or even 18's for sure, they look awesome.
