16's is what 2.0's came with STOCK, same with most TDI's to my knowledge.
They came with 16x6.5 wheels, and P205/55HR16 rubber.

So, out of curiosity, why do you say that 17's are the smallest aftermarket you can get? Because hundreds of people with aftermarket 16" wheels would be horrified to know their wheels that they have don't fit

17's and 18's look better in my opinion, but 16" aftermarket WILL fit unless you have upgraded brakes like on the 1.8T.
