16" rims

Hi all,
I want to upgrade rims on our P5 and after much thought and driving daughter's Honda with 18" Toyo's, I think I'll stay with 16" rims. Tires handled great,but were extremely noisy and rough. Rishie's fitment guide does not address 16" rims. I would like to go to a 7.5 rim with a wider and little taller tire. Any thoughts on this "retro" upgrade?

true that the recipe doesn't talk about 16's.....however.....the true nature of the recipe is dedicated to teh width of the wheel...and the diameter of the tire.....SO....if you stay with a tire that will give you as close to the stock diameter as posible....then the offset guide for the widths would be the same, even for a 16. But if you plan on uping the sidewall to a taller tire...you may run into trouble with rubbing on the strut or the fender.....not to mention throwing off your speedometer and odometer.
