Default Will 16" rims fit an xi with the proper offsets?

Have been looking at E46 wheels for snow tires, many come in 16" and I can go down to a 205 tire. Just wasn't sure if a 16 will clear the calipers. Anybody know?

Probably not - 17" wheels with the proper tire size (225/50x17) is an optimal winter setup for xi's.
Remember to watch for tire load capacity - 5's weigh more than 3's - and proper wheel offset.
