Need quick help....steel wheel question

I need some 16" steel wheels for my newly acquired MS3 for snow tires. Tirerack is sold out, so that option is out. I'm looking for junkyard rims, but since the 3 never came with steelies they can't find any and can't xreference either.

I've come to the conclusion that the Mazda6/Fusion wheel might work, but after a call to the ford/Mazda dealer they think that the offset on that wheel is +55. A call to Tirerack gave me the info that the wheel they had offered was a +42. And the guy couldnt xreference it either to tell me what other cars used that wheel in the package.

Sorry if this has been covered before, I need an answer quick as there's an ice storm bearing down on me and I really dont want to brave it in the RE050As.
 
I'm running some Mazda 6 17" aluminums for the winter, which have an offset of +60. Its pretty close to the calipers, but I haven't had any rubbing. So i think a 55 would work fine. Stock offset is 52.5.
