16" ET45 - 49 are your best bet for a very good fit
16" that look big, erm Mille Miglia T12s??

if you want 16's that look bigger get a design that spokes go right to edge of rim this gives the illusion they are bigger..
idealy you want an offset of ET45-ET49, more than likely you will find ET45 wheels as ET49 are quite rare, irmscher, speedlines etc are 49..
most wheels companies do wheels in this offset, find the design you want phone and ask about offsets available...
ET45-49 for a good fit, can go lower but looking at arch wotk maybe...

Ive just got me self some team dynamic speed 8's in a 16". they look nice and have the appearence of been big as the spokes go right to the edge. they are in et45 and fit fine with 195 45r 16 tyres . I got a good deal and got wheels and tyres ready to fit with locking bolts for £360 
All of the team dynamics wheels can be got in ET45 and so can most other companies except OZ
