Hell no. You cannot mount 17" tires on a 16" wheel. The first number "P265" means that the tire is 265 mm wide. The Second number "70" means the height of the tire is 70% of the width of the tire, or that the tire is 185.5 mm tall. The last number, "R17", means that the tire is a steel belted radial and the rim size is 17". The last number on the tire must match the rim size or you may get injured or killed.

No, can't be done. The final number (17) indicates that the tire is 17 inches in diameter and won't fit on a 16 inch rim (and vice versa).

No the R number or rim size have to match.
R17=17in rim, R 16=16in rim

No. One is 16" diameter and the other 17".
That's the diameter of the 'hole' where the wheel goes.
