Default Appropriate offset for 16" wheels on SC300?

I want to buy some 16" wheels for my SC300 (OEM is 15" and I want a better selection of tires for the car). What's an appropriate offset for that? 16x7? 16x7.5? I would like to keep the combined weight of wheel/tire as close to OEM as possible.

I have reasons for wanting the 16" rather than any larger size, so please don't try to talk me into anything bigger.

Try to stay as close to the factory +50 offset as possible. As far as width, it's up to you, your stock wheels are 6.5", so anything 7"-up is an improvement, but a staggered setup would be very nice, i.e. 16x8.5 and 16x9.5 ........

I'll probably keep them all the same size, to make rotation easier. This car is a daily driver, and maintenance expenses are an issue.
