I'm not sure that 16" wheels will clear the brakes. I would check on Tirerack.com to see if they sell a 16" rim to clear the brakes.
The Base 2.5i model has 16" steel wheels. I'm pretty sure the brakes are the same on all trim levels w/ the 2.5i (and possibly the 3.6R).

I have made it up my steep driveway with these tires-bought from tirerack mounted on steel wheels with TPMS installed. Dealer had to register the new sensors. Tires are excellent-really get to appreciate the snow capability of my Subie. I live in NW Connecticut--huge amount of snow so far this year-no problems.

No kidding - my in-laws are up there and they've been buried, even stranded at times.
Hang in there and be careful even with the awesome combo of AWD+snows!
