Good catch. That may very well be true.
Anyways,yes,a 16" will fit. You can easily fir up to an 18" rim with a 35 series rubber with no modification. Once you get into anything bigger than a 19" with a static drop,you'll start having clearance issues. You can put 20s on it if you don't lower it,or you can put 20s on it if you cut the shit out of everything.
But I'd recommend a 225/45/16 tire if you go with a 16" rim. That will get you pretty close to the stock overall dimater keeping your speedo correct.
