Are you talking about 275/40/17 tires? If so then they're made for 17" rims and won't fit on 16" rims.
The stock rim sizes are either 16"X8" (everything besides SS & WS6) or 17"X9" (SS & WS6). Firehawk's are also 17"X9".

well it would only be for like 3 or 4 days. I'm doing it because I'm wanting to send my TT2's to trade for some Chrome Z06's and i can't afford to put my car on jackstands because it is my only source of transportation so for those few days in between me sending my rims and getting his it would be on the stock 16 inch rims

whatta ya think guys?
