I ran 16 X 7, 44 offset and staggered winter tires for years. They'll fit. No rubbing, but the handling will suffer because of the staggered tires on non-staggered rims. If you run the same size tires all around, the handling will suffer even more.
Oh, this is assuming the bolt pattern is 5 X 114.

xviper is correct. They will fit with the correct size tires but I would not recommend them for handling.

What size "what"? Rims or tires?
If it's rims, you didn't say you had a choice of a different size for those rims. You seem to indicate that "16X7 all 4 with offset +45" was all there was for a choice.
The "correct" size would be what the OEM numbers would be.
16 X 6.5, 55mm offset front with a 205/55/16 tire.
16 X 7.5, 65mm offset rear with a 225/50/16 OEM tire or a 245/45/16 non-OEM tire.
