Unless you shave A-arm, 16" wheels will not fit, even after than, wheels might rub against the brakes.

You need to shave or hammer in the top of the control arm and you will be okay. Most all of us drag racers have done that and run 16 on the rear.

Hammering works most of the time on CCW's. It takes more (grinding) on Fbod and C4 wheels. see here
