Let alone the reduced braking capacity due to larger rim/tyre diameter unless extra low profile tyres are used to bring the rolling radius back to near normal.

The 5mm, wont make too much difference but the change from prolly 5 or 5.5" to 7" will! TO get 16x7's on they will need to be exactly right, but it can be done. I would question the need for 16" rims aswell, sure they look trick, but alot of the time they arent any advantage, and some times a disadvantage to the handling, as well as the legality and licencing of the car.
