Wheel question

On a '99 EB -
Presently have the stock 17" wheels.
This will be next years beach runner come striper season.
Not seeing much being offered in the 17" rim / tire combo I'm wondering about being able to use 16" rims?
If I could go 16" there are wider tires available for floating on the (beach) sand.
If I could go 16X10,,,(w/ 35" tires?) I'm thinking almost unstropable without needing to air down much at all. But then, how much offset would be required for a good fit?
Danged, I wish lift kits were more affordable for these things! Ouch.

16's were standard on '97 and i think '98 4x2. so using 16s should not be much of a problem i wouldn't think.....
