Tried it, and didn't like the look...

I have a '93 TC and swapped out the oem 15" 5.5 asymmetricals for 16" 6.0 Aero wheels from a '98 9K. Makes no difference which wheels we're comparing here (I know you're looking at 15" 6.0, but the offset is the same for all 9K wheels), but the offset of the 9K wheels will make them stick out from the fenders on the 900 by about 1/4" to 1/2". Not very noticeable except to the discerning eye (which I have). I never really cared for the look, so I went back to the 5.5's. Other's here have done it and didn't mind the look. It's a matter of personal preference.
As for performance differences, I noticed nothing better by going to the 16" 6.0 (which required tires in 205/50-16) vs the 15" 5.5 (with tires in 195/60-15).
