Best 16" rally tyres are Michelin Michelin 16/66-16 FB 80 or similar at a cost of about US$190 each or Dunlop 195/70-16 SP82 at a cost of about £130 each
Unless the stages are long its usually best to go with a medium compound - but sometimes you can only get the hard compound in 16" - if so treat them with tyre softener such as Grip - http://www.griptyresoftener.com
The other option is to get a set of brakes from an RS evo or a Gallant VR4 or similar which are small enough to allow 15" rims to be used, but it's not an ideal solution.
I use 16" rims and I find they work well.

7" rim width is the most common - it depends what tyres you can obtain.
It's important to get wheels that will clear the calipers - such as:
