u mean 17s arent for u?

16s down 50 wil b fine, ul possibly need to remove the arch liners and get a little scrubbing on full lock tho

[edit] if u want mor performance go with 15"

if you have 195/40/16's tyres then yeah you'll be fine on a 50mm drop. if not and you go for 45 profiles you'll need some work doin.
