Any reason they have to be 16s, now the OEM ones won't fit? Would suggest the likes of Compomotive and searching around the internet for suggestions. Generally, Brembo are thought to have big/wide calipers, so if wheels fit with those, they're likely to fit with other big brake solutions. It's usually the clearance to the back of the spokes that ballses things up.

Not a cat in hells chance of fitting 16"s over a 323mm discs. Generally the biggest rotor and caliper combo will be a 315mm.

 

Certain motorsport wheels such as some Compomotives had bigger clearance inside but not many normal road wheels will.

 

I ran a set of 315mm AP racing 4 pot brakes on my old RS Escort and the clearance between the caliper and wheel was tiny.
