You'll need to roll the rear fenders, but after that you should be fine. Personally I'd rather go with a more modest offset and wider tires, though.

the only time I would run an offset that big would be when I was running a wider tire, but I think you might want to move to a 17, you can still get plenty of light 17s (it's just a question of finding a set you like with a price you can live with) But, it is your car, if you like the way it would look, more power to you, it should work pretty well for you after the fenders are done.

17's could be lighter. The 16" tire can weigh more than a 17" many times due to the higher profile.
I would get some 17x9+45 all around rpf1's and some 255's. Roll fenders and should be good.
While oem might come with those size tires they are wider than your standard tire so that will be a really skinny tire setup. Would get much better grip and handling from going with a 17" wheels and either 255 all around on 9" or do a 225/255 staggered setup.

Those are some small tires... stock is 205/55r16 front, 225/50r16 rear. Roll the rear fenders either way. Your speedometer will be off.

Why not just roll the fenders and then run a much better setup all around? Rolling is not hard or just pay a local to do them for $50 or something.
