Don't think they will clear the calipers.

It would look terrible. A set of 16" rims on the Evo is unmetionable.

My suggestion is to never even consider a 16" rim on an Evo unless you're doing it strictly for using slicks in drag racing situations, and even then, you'd have to figure out the brakes situation.

What possessed you to even consider 16" rims?

i'd run 16in rims all day! you just need to get yourself smaller front calipers, thats what I'm going to do eventually when i run slicks!!!!!!!!

I'd ride on 16s in 195 or less width in snow if I could find them for the Evo.
