you are after wider track.... wheelbase is how far the fronts are from the rears...

you could just buy the correct offset rims, look at the thread for dan's track car project.

when you say that you only want to fit 16's.. just how wide are they, cos people have been fitting 16's for years without resorting to wide arch kits. you will have to roll your rear arches though

well, in that case, you need to see about fitting longer bottom arms, some sort of camber adjustment & maybe some longer track rods, with hub adaptors on the rear.
