Yes, 16" are tricky. I'm tempted by these for our UR Quattro rally tribute:

There are also these from Pirelli but probably too big in 16" sizes.

I'm running Toyo RA1 on my street Quattro. I'd run the T1R but I don't like the tread design.

Other options: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchResults.jsp?zip-code=&frontWidth=225/&frontRatio=50&frontDiameter=16&rearWidth=245/&rearRatio=45&rearDiameter=16

Toyo T1Rs?
Any other options?

(I wish now I had gone 15 inch with TB15s- there expensive but everyone seems to agree great tires and at least they're still making them)
