No. Roth conversions are income for the year in which the distribution converted to Roth occurs. If the distribution from the traditional IRA occurs in 2017, it's reportable on your 2017 tax return.

You are thinking of *new* IRA *contributions* that can be made for the previous tax year up until the due date of that tax years tax return - April 18, 2017 for the 2016 tax year. That has nothing to do with rollovers or conversions that cannot be retroactive.
