Default Tires to Rims

I am wondering if what i am looking at will be possible i have stock rubicon rims 17 x 7.5 with the bf muds on it. I am looking at getting new rims. I dont know wich rims will work for my tires i have., These are the two i am looking at. http://www.quadratec.com/products/92819_27XX_A_PG.htm

My main question is will the tires i have on the 17" rims fit on a 16 in rim or not? also can i get the 17 tire with the 9" wide or would that be to wide? the bf muds that are on there are 10.5 wide. It looks like bigger rim size is better and width so i was thinking the 17 x 9 ones would be best and all work out great?

Your 17" tires will not fit on a 16" rim.

Stock 7.5" wide rim will be fine with 10.5" wide tires.
