What wheel offsets do you run on the front of your 1000

I had a search and couldn't find anything. I'm trying to find a set of wheels for my 1000 coupe and its proving to be a hard task. Also someone who can measure it up and tell me what offsets I need is just as hard. To make things easier I have a h165 rear axle (widder track) so I will need a staggered offset.
Ive been looking at 16x6.5 and 16.7 but what size, width and offset have you guys used and any feedback would be good?

if you run a larger diameter wheel you can run a more positive offset wheel as it will go over the upper arm. to counter this tho, bigger wheels start to not suit the little 1000 as much (but only in my opinion) you'll start to run into problems with the wheels and guards during turning, you won't be able to have it sit as low, your brakes will be pulling up a greater rotational force from the larger diameter so there are other things you'll need to address, especially if going 16's or 17's

14's probably around 6" wide with 175/60 tyres needs guard work, they scrub on full lock. 13x6.5 around +20 clips the upper arm. Honestly if i'm having some trouble with 14's, imagine what trouble you would have with 16's.
