Big time rub in the rear, at the very least.

The stock offset for 15 x 6 wheel is 33mm, for a 16 x 6.5 wheel it's 27mm. Most aftermarket wheels in 15" and 16" are 7" wide, however, so offset should be even lower.
My 15 x 7 wheels have a 35mm offset, which in theory is darned close to the stock 33mm. But, thanks to the extra wheel width, I need 3mm spacers in the rear or the wheels (not tires) will rub on the suspension trailing arms. 42mm is a definite no go.
Zeke's right on with the Mustang wheel suggestion.
Another option is Ronal, though not everyone is crazy about their styling. Great prices, though, compared to genuine Saab wheels (even used).
