Take a look in your owners manual in the specifications section for wheels and tyres. I think it shows type approved sizes of tyres for 16” wheels. Therefore the only question is whether a 16” rim will fit over your brakes, and you should be able to see this by looking at the wheel and seeing if there is at least half an inch of clearance between the callipers and the rim. Provide you use a type approved tyre size, there is no need to worry about speedo inaccuracies since the overall wheel diameters will be the same within the permitted tolerance. The smaller rims have higher profile tyres to compensate: you’d probably need a 215/55 R16
