I think a little more info on your current setup, and what you are trying to achieve, would be helpful.
What truck do you have and how do you want to use it? What is your axle ratio? Going with new street tires or offroad?
Generally you would look at your current wheel clearance and decide how much bigger you want to go, and work from there.
Larger rims will be a rougher ride, limit your towing, and give you less acceleration. You'll also need to calibrate your speedometer to account for different tire size.
I don't mean to be negative, a lot of people go up in size on tires and really like it. It's a large investment.

It isn't so much the size of the rims that is the issue. It's the size of the tires you put on those rims. If you keep tire diameter the same as what you have now, (lower profile tires on larger rims) then things will be pretty much the same as they are now, just a rougher ride. (less tire sidewall to absorb the bumps.)

Has to be at least 17's unless the offset sticks them way out of the wheel well. Otherwise Mother Mopar would've gone with cheaper 16's for base wheels (or even carried over the 2nd gen 16's).
