What tire are you used to?

I had BFG Gforce Stock on my SVT then went to Nitto's and I think they SUCK AZS!
Less traction new than the BGF's were at over a year old!

The tire sizes you listed will fit fine. The NITTO's are cheap, much cheaper than the G-Force 16" OEM tires for the SVT, though I should tell you the G-Force tires are cheaper in the 17" size than the 16" and if you are looking at 17's they are a better tire hands down.

I took off my nittos with only 7K miles on them because they had no damn traction wet at all, and average traction dry. I do have a 3L engine, but the BFG's gripped a lot better. The nitto's cost about $95 a tire, but I found that the new tires I have are MUCH better and only cost around $100-$105 for 215/45-17 and the have a lot more grip. They are Falken Ziex 550's.
