Just curious as to what is the largest useable tire size you can put on a 6" wheel. On a side note anybody know for a fact where someone can find a 16x6 wheel? Has to be readily available, not a custom build either. Just got hosed in the october fastrack so I'm looking for options.
I have run 185, 205 and 225 on mine.
5x100 I assume?
Not cheap:

You don't want custom - but my guess is racer price on Spin Werks Series 82 made to your specs would be $250-$275 each. I see 16x7, 8, 9.5 and 10 out there, but they do make custom wheels. Jesse Prather at Prather Racing should be able to get them.

I have fit 225/50 V710's and RA1's on 6" wide wheels on my A car before. It works fine with no issues. I thought I had more grip stuffing the 225 on a 6" than I had when running a 205 on the same wheel.
However, for best performance I think the tire bulges too much and there is an advantage to running 7" wide wheel with 225's (I know, ITB can't run those anyway, so just FYI I guess).

What really pisses me off is that in Showroom Stock I could run a stock wheel but when the car got moved to IT I'm no longer legally allowed to run the same wheel. B.S. if you ask me. Might end up getting protested every race for .5". Whatever, just trying to have fun, no money comes out of this anyways, just a never ending supply of money going in. That's just figurative, I for one do not have a never ending supply of moo-la.
Ok after looking at those SSR's I've got to go change my shorts. 1 set costs almost as much as the car. Very nice, but no where near cost effective for me/us.
