That is a good question. Most 16s don't run that big, so my guess is that it would have to be a totally custom wheel. I'm no expert, though, so hopefully you'll have an answer soon.

Many people are running 15 in back. If you are talking about drap rims then there is a large world for it but other than that, no. When you go to a larger wheel there is more moving mass, the side wall is smaller, and this all means slower. With a 17 you can go 11 in the back, and have heard of 18x11 too. Going with the same size rim would be foolish on a few levels (that is when you have 16s) They don't look as good on the car, small market, and not to many tire choices compaired to a 17. You should get a set for the street and a set for the track, if you don't go to the track then get a nice set of street wheels, and that will mean 17 and up. Just my $.02
