i have 165/70 R13 on mine and it looks fine to me. when i did them they told me bigger than 165 or R14 would scrub. Also i would lose power since it's a 1.0l

i think they look good tho, and some lowering would help

That Uno looks really smart, killfr0g!

At first I thought it had lower side-cladding in a contrasting colour (like my 164 - see pic!) but then I realised that it's just the effect of the pinstripe!

The wheels are pleasantly tasteful. I think you're right that with those wheels, the taller tyres don't look out of place. With the standard flat-style wheel covers though, the tyres might not look as good! Different tyres also bring different characteristics, e.g. you probably have a slightly smoother ride, but there may be more tyre distortion during cornering?

The 16s should fit , without a big problem , make sure the arches are rolled and the spacers are removed .. u might need to hammer the inside of the arch abit ..

Im slapping on some 17s tho .. and yes , ill post the pics , to show yall how its done!
