A couple of thoughts....
1) 16" tires will not fit on 17" rims.
2) The tires you were sent (on 16" rims of course) work very well for a few reasons
a) the higher aspect ratio is not as prone to blow out or bend a rim if you hit a pot hole (common in the winter around hre in NJ)
b) the lesser width cuts into the snow for better traction in snow
c) the 215/55/16 size works with no distortion in the speedomter reading. I've done calibration runs and the difference amounts to a .1 MPH higher reading
