You are going to rub, the offset is low enough for you to catch the rear bumper's tab and possibly the screw attaching the bumper to the body. If you have a GD (see my sig) then it is recommended that you run a +45 offset to avoid rubbing when lowered.

If you check out the several threads in this "Fit Shoes" sub-forum you will find other combinations that work.

I ran +42 offset on my 16's and only had light rubbing up front from big bumps. I had the same tire size, 205/45/16. My 15's offset is +32 front and +27 rear. The fronts rub about the same as before and the rears are only just rubbing the inner fender lip on medium to hard bumps.

Were you lowered or at stock height with those 16s?

If you roll/pull/cut the rear bumper mounting tab off then use zip tie then you can run your wheels.
