Wheel fitment
He is asking what is the offset and width of the wheels. Wheel sizes will be in this format 16 x 7.0 +40. The second number is the width, and the +X number is the offset. These numbers will decide if you rub or not. Also are you lowered?
I'm not going to lower it yet, but I do hope soon. hahaha. Once i get paid at my job. the volk TE37 offset is +38 4x 114.3 and 4x100. Thank type 100 for answering my question; Thank to all of you that answer my question really a big help. off to get them now. =).... and will be posting picture as soon i get them on. =P.....

I have 43 offset and it is fine and I am lowered. I remember BakedCookies with 42 offset and he said he rubbed (I think he also went to 205/50-16 tires). 
So 43/44 might be the limit, if you are going to lower it and IF you do not want to mess with camber bolts/ rolling fenders and that sort of thing. 45 possibly a little more if you go wider tire.

Dimension of 16" Accessory Wheels
this is what the 16" accessory wheel looks like

This is what a 7" rim looks like...

so, if you want 16" rims that are 7" wide, you need at least a 40-mm offset but no greater than 43-mm.

You appear to be using back space, offset is different as it is offset from center. So actually a 6 or 6.5 or 7" wheel works out the same! Tires width is really the issue.
No smugness intended, strongly suggesting 43 is the minimum, and 45 or even a bit more is better if going wider tire.

And again my numbers can be fudged if you want to camper bolt/roll fenders.
Just do not want the OP to make a potentially expensive mistake, otherwise whatever people want to do to their own cars is fine by me.
