In my shed I have a single 225/65r17
My stupid question, which I'm fairly certain of the answer but want to be wrong about is: Can I use the 225/65r17 with three 215/60r16s?
As I type it I feel like there's no way, but it'd be nice for my wallet if I could.

Your single tire needs to go on a 17 inch wheel and your car uses 16 inch wheels.
So your 17 inch tire/wheel is bigger and won't fit on 16 inch wheels. It is also bigger because it is 225 mm wide and has a sidewall height that is larger than your other tires. (65 vs 60)
Even if you could mount it on a 17 inch rim it would likely put stress on suspension and steering components.
Here's a good website to learn about sizes and comparing.
