*"I don’t mind a debate"*

Ok... to begin...  *Wheel = Rim + Tires*

so when you mean *"new tires, likely match to new 16” wheels"* you mean *"new
tires, likely match to new 16” RIMS"*

now... with 16" rims you will likely have low profile tires to match the
diameter of the OEM 14" wheels, unless you have a converted engine other
than WBX...

look at this link to make your choice of size...
