currently the trucks stock rim size are 15 in. and I am looking to put 16 or 17 inch rims on the truck.

Absolutely. You can add rims to nearly anything, you just have to know what the limits are. On a stock S-10 whether 2 or 4 wheel drive, you should be able to mount a 255 tire without any clearance issues. That translates to a tire with a section witdh of about 10.0 inches, which is pretty decent. Depending on what size rim you want to use, you need to pick a tire that will have the right section height (this is the profile of the tire). Bigger rims need lower profile tires which sacrifice ride quality the bigger you go. Just check with a tire shop before you buy anything. Just for refernece, you probably dont need anything bigger than 20" wheels on a truck like that.

Vigor00, The S-10 has a deep backspaced wheel . When selecting new ones do not change the original backspace. Personally, I would not fall for any rims over an inch or two wider on the street side. Otherwise you'll be heaving stones mud and road trash on each side of your truck constantly pocking up the clear coat and tearing off the paint.

You didn't specify if the the size you wanted, but it wont hurt the truck. You will notice a decrease in fuel mileage and the steering will be more sensitive toward bumps due to more rubber on the ground. Depending on how wide of tire and rim, you might have to trim your fenders or lift the vehicle.

the wider the tire the more strain you put on front end parts, if you put in a body lift you can go almost as wide as you want
