You cannot install 16" tires on 17" wheels. Look at the existing tires and get the same thing.

You might be confused as you can't mount 16" tires on a 17" wheel. Measure the wheels, the diameter is to the tire mounting diameter, not the OD of the flange on the wheel. I suspect you bought 16" rims.

Have a tire shop verify your tire/wheel size so that you know what they are.
