There should be no issues converting from your current setup to a wheel and tire like the # TA69VR Provider 215/75R17.5 Radial Tire w/ 17-1/2" Solid Center Wheel. The wheel will match your current bolt pattern and, assuming you have ST235/85R16 or ST235/80R16 tires on your current 16" wheels, the tires on the # TA69VR have a smaller diameter so clearance will not be an issue.
These tires have a a 16-ply rating and a 4,805-lb max load at 123 psi. They have a speed rating of M for a maximum speed of 81 mph. The steel wheel has a -0.19" offset and 3-step silver powder coat finish for corrosion resistance.
I have attached a video review of the tire and wheel for your reference.
