I was originally for the 16's as well (as per that picture), but after checking out Rasb1's car rolling with RS070's I decided that would be the way to go.
16's will look awesome though but be ready to be pushing some spacers, unless you change the dish on the wheels which will in turn effect the offset (I believe).
Good luck with the hunt.

But that depends on the offset of the wheel. If it's like an offset of 20 (or even as high as 30's - the offset the Dub boys roll) you'll need spacers to clear the track rods on the front wheels.
If it's slammed to the floor with 16's you'll prob need to do some arch rolling as well. 15's on my (which is not slammed) still causes rubbing when turning at full lock, and my wheels are the perfect offset. Obviously tyre wall size comes in to this as well.

You can get bit more offset with 16's but not much I have some sperical bearing trackrod ends which give about another 8mm on my car
