Didn't somebody post pics of their car with 17" GP 5-spoke knock-offs? I wonder if those are wider... prolly not but worth looking in to. I'm thinking about looking myself because 16"s are starting to seem small.

The right 16" wheels will look fine. And the only ones that I've seen that look good are the 5 stars.

Only thing that comes to mind are possibly some 04+ GP rims.  Pretty sure the base aluminum ones were 16", no idea how wide they are though.  The GXP rims should definatly take whatever tires you want since they have 235 or 245, but they are 18" rims and probably very expensive....
