Subject:16" wheel kit

Hey everyone,
 
Happy Friday! 
 
First YES another wheel and tire post.  Yes I know 14s work great.  But once I went to a wider tire and larger I will never go back as the ride is Amazing. I know folks use different wheel converts and I am looking for alternatives to gather information and make an educated buy.   
 
I am reaching out to the list to see if anyone else is having an issue with the GoWesty 16 wheel kits?  The issue I am having is that the frnt wheels stick out way too far and spray rocks all up the sides of the van even with SA mudflaps.  I do not want to get flares  onteh fenders as I do not like the way they look.  I don't think that dropping down to the 15s will help either as they are almost just as wide.  
 
 
 
Looking for advice and also suggestions as to what wheels 15 or 16 I could use instead.  Should I go with Audi wheels and bore out he center for a better offset?  Is there a way to fix the 23mm offset on teh gowesty wheels to increase the offset bring the hweel in further?  
 
and last.....If anyone wants a set of GOWESY wheels and Yokohama 215/65/16 tires let me know. 
 
 
Thanks in advance.
