The 16's that I like have a +40 offset and are 7" wide. Is that OK?
All three.
I mean, it's not like 17" wheels are going to seriously affect the way your car drives in a negative way. But, they look a bit too big unless you have a body kit, they are generally heavier, to get a light-weight one you have to spend more, the tires are more expensive, and the tire sidewalls are really skinny.
A 7" wide wheel with a +40 offset should fit no problem. For tire size you want either 205/45-16 or 215/40-16.
