Yeah, I got the the tires and wheels at the same time.
The order of installation:
Wheels and tires (tire rack, dunlops and Mille Miglia II))
Springs and swaybars (iPD)
Bilsteins (iPD)
Now I need:
new macpherson strut bearings
probably bushings for the rear

The 16" wheels fit fine, I get a lot of comment on how they make the car look better. The only caveat for this setup is when turning full lock the tires will rub on the swaybar.
