For stock rims, unlike the 15" rims which the front and backs were the same, the offsets for the 16" rims were 16mm front, 0 offset back.

I think you may have the 16" offsets backwards. 0mm front, +16mm rear.

Maybe, I can never get it straight . I do know they are mark on the wheel wheather they belong on the front or back.
