Wheel options for 5kt

so a4 wheels fit all around w/ lowering? what size are these wheels?

I assume they're....16"x7" w/ 45mm offset.      is this true?

what would fit if it's 7.5 or 8" wide? The tire size is really what makes 
the difference in fender clearance [as long as center line hasn't changed], 
but it seems in the front there is a clearance issue between the wheel and 
strut housing. Would anything beyond 7" even work? Thanks.
