If it's outer width I'd be concerned about the tyre stability. I'd expect a 17mm inner width to be okay but you might find the bike has a bit of wander.
thank you for the reply. it seemed ok the bike seemed steady and handled ok i more concerned that tomorrow i am off on a loaded tour for a few night i didn't realise that the back rim was wider then the front til this evening so I was little worried about the overall safety
