Well I dont own an S. So im sure somebody will chime in and say I am not qualified to answer but I'll do it anyway to expedite the process...
Those offsets are lower than stock so you will have to run slightly more negative camber than it came with. You also have to worry about the tire sixe you use... heres a link for more info:

BTW, There are some members that have used the Work forged Emotion in 16" and I believe they had rubbing issues since the offsets were low. PM JsAP1 since he used to have them. Also, there was one member that used the OEM prelude wheels. I think there is really no other wheel that S owners have used. Last but not least, nobody owns the Gramight wheel you are reffering to in that size.

A bunch of people on this forum are using the Spoon sw388. Just do a search. The only other wheel I can think of in that diameter is the JDM BBS wheel.

I had 16" Volk CE38N's on my S. I think they were 16X7 +47 front and 16X8 +47 back. There was no rubbing. I was lowered on Tein RA's. I could have lowered the car as much as I wanted to with no issues. I didn't roll the fenders.
