3 basic things about changing wheels.Unless you change the overall diameter of the tire/wheel, the width of the tire/wheel or the total width of the car, it will not matter if you change the wheels
If you want no impact......
If the wheel is wider than the original, make sure the offset (amount the landing surface of the wheel is from center) allows the wheel and tire to clear the caliper and shspension compnents.
If the offset allows everything to clear, then you wnat to be OK with the total width. If the wheel is much wider it changes the geometry. You can see that on the road with people that put really wide wheels on their cars and it looks like the wheel is miss shaped.
The toal diameter is the easiest to deal with. You can go to sites like tirerack.com, etc and just look at the outside diameter specification of the original rubber on the car. Then find a 16" version of the tire that has the same diameter. Since the outside diamter is a funtion of the width of the tire you have to browse around.
Good luck with it
