Default Smallest diameter wheel

Been playing with the calculator & looks like for a 7" rin 43mm offset is about centered but what about the smallest wheel diameter that will clear the brakes. Does anyone know if a 16" will clear ? 17" ?

What I am thinking is saving the stock wheels and tires for performance or maybe shows and using a smaller diameter wheel/larger diameter tire for a softer street ride and have the same size on all four The important thing is to maintain the diameter.

Since just about anything is available for a 5x112 (anyone know if hub-centric and if so, what is the hub diameter ?), This seems feasible if the right offset can be found. (suspect anything from 38 to 47 mm would work & 38 might look better but 43 should minimise torque loads.
