Default Winter Wheel Size help

I would like to find a smaller size rim for winter but when I found a 16 inch steelie the site said they would not fit. Does anyone have any experience with this? My guess is the 16inch steelie won't clear the brakes? The search function showed up nothing. I have an AWD 07 IS250.
any help and info is appreciated.

I stumbled upon some RSX type S 16inxh wheels, 5x114.3 anyone know if they'll clear the brakes?

Thanks... that info actually helps with determining if the RSX wheels will clear.
