17 inch wheels vs 18 inch on tow vehicle

We have sold our TT and the 1/2 ton truck is next. We are planning to purchase a 5th wheel in the 10000 pound range. Today we shopped Chevy Duramax 3/4 ton trucks. Looked very capable of handling the job. Question is: Some had 18 inch wheels and some 17 inch. Both were load range E. Door jam stickers were the same. Would one be better than the other for towing the 5th wheel? Seeking advice before purchase.
Thanks

I don't believe there would really be a difference. Both trucks will have tires rated to carry the weight you need, and both will be geared to account for the tire size the manufacturer installs on them.

As mentioned before. Only real difference would be height. Lower tire may be better to level the 5er
