Best Answer

The 16 is actually 16 inches, that is the diameter of your rim. Anything smaller will not fit on your current rim and anything bigger will fall off while you are driving down the road.

Is it ok to have 3 tires the same ratio and 1 different on a car?

By ratio if you mean size, the answer is no unless the car comes from the factory with a different size rear tires than front tires like some sports cars. In that case you would have 2 tires the same size on the front and 2 tires another size on the rear. You should never ever run 2 different size tires on the same axle. Therefore you would never have a situation where you would have 3 tires one size and then 1 tire another size.
