Default work emotion's 16" question?

I have been looking for a decent deal on these rims and I found a site with them for sale. They only seem to offer them in a 44mm offset. Is this even possible for an S to run?

Here's the site:

works

I have Work RSZ-Rs in 16x7 +44 and they fit great. However, since the wheels aren't staggered, they're not really the ideal fitment for the S. I run wider rear tires (245/45/16) to get some stagger in the tread at least (205s up front).
I posted pics of my car in the socal (and gallery, but the gallery thread is just a link to the socal thread) forum if you want to take a look at how 16x7 +44 look.

I have a question, why do you want to run 16"?

same reason i do. some people want to keep the stock sizing and get a different and lighter wheel.

maybe we can get evasive to get the 16x8 too

I think, the 16x8 inch wheels only comes in Emotion Forged, which is discontinued and only made for Spoon's race car. If you ever find a set, I'd jump on them.

I would run a 15" if I could find one that was light and good for everyday use. These WORK rims weigh like 12-13 pds a piece....that is a lot of unsprung weight savings compared to stock. 18"s may look great on an S, but the hit it takes to your performance isn't worth it to me. Different strokes for different folks I guess though.

Hey thanks for the link. I am having the same trouble you have. I can't seem to find the 16" work emotion rims in a staggered stance.
