so a 9 in my opinion is a waste.....but some people like the look of the sidewall with the 9s....taste....

Not a matter of taste at all, a wider wheel, remaining within the spec range, will offer performance benefits in the form of better handling and acceleration due to the effects of the rim on a given tire carcass.

Doesn't the Carrera have a higher offset on the front wheels (36mm for 16x6"?) than on the rear (23mm for 16x7")? So if you move the rear wheels to the front they would stick out too far?

A 6 does have a 36mm o/s, a 7 to replace it will have ~23.3mm o/s, the o/s changes because the width changed, you want some of the
D inboard and some out.
Look
here and
here for more wheel info.

All 7 by 16" fuchs have the same offset, (except for the 944 fuchs
|
All Fuch 7s do have the same o/s, +23.3mm.
There are 2 different o/s Fuch 8s +10.6mm for the 911 and +23.3mm o/s for the 944. The 944 +23.3mm 8 may be used on the front of a 911 to replace a +23.3mm 7 which may be used to replace a +36mm 6
I agree w/ Mike(89911) 8 & 9 is even better, but does get into fitment issues that the more casual users may not wish to deal w/. For that matter 8 & 9.5 or 8.5 and 10 is even better but also even harder to fit.
