16 inch rims on an mx-3?

How do these look? I have a GS and just ordered a set of ICW odessa 16xz wheels with a 205/55/16 Nitto tire. Can anyone point me to some pictures of mx-3's with a 16 inch rim and tire combo? My car is pretty low, hides the tread on the stock GS 15's.... Think it will look right? I prefer a little sidewall to a tiny one.

thanks

I love my 16s (look at my sig). 15's and 16's are the perfect size. I hate low pro tires and giant rims, especially 18's and 19's. It looks unnatural to me.

Yeah. I think they look best in 16". 15's my second choice. 17's are getting a little too low profile for my tastes.

And you should get 50's instead of 55's. The stock 14's have 60's. The stock 15's have 55's. So logically 16's should have 50's

oh well, tuck em baby! If the overall size isnt any larger, then they wont do any better job filling the wheel well!
